Dr. Shanker will be presenting from 9am - 12pm via webinar

Dr. Stuart Shanker (D.Phil) is a Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Psychology, the CEO of 
The MEHRIT Centre, Ltd., and founder and Science Director of the Self-Regulation Institute. His most recent book, Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage With Life (2016), has garnered enthusiastic reviews and media attention throughout North America and has also been published in the UK, Poland, Germany, South Korea, The Netherlands, and The Czech Republic, with further translations and foreign editions in the works.
Over the past decade, Stuart Shanker has served as an advisor on early child development to government organizations across Canada and the United States, and in countries around the world. During this period, he became increasingly interested in the impact of excessive stress on child development and behaviour. Stuart Shanker’s five-step Self-Reg model -- The Shanker MethodTM-- is a powerful process for understanding and managing stress in children, youth and adults. In 2012 he founded The MEHRIT Centre as a Self-Reg learning and information centre. Stuart commits considerable time to bringing the research and science of Self-Reg to parents, early childhood educators, teachers, educational leaders, health practitioners and communities through presentations, master classes, online courses, webinars, publications, social media and a blog entitled, “The Self-Reg View”.

Dr. Brenda Smith-Chant
Presenting from 1pm-4pm

Dr Brenda Smith-Chant is the Director of Research for the Self-Regulation Institute, a partner organization to The MEHRIT Centre (TMC) that is devoted to Self-Reg research and knowledge sharing. Her research background is in learning and learning environments—particularly for children. As well Dr Smith-Chant is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Trent University, and a member of the Psychology, Education, and Applications in Modeling graduate programs there.
In addition to her research, Brenda was a foster parent. She began to see the damaging effects of trauma, stress, and anxiety on her foster children, and how feelings of safety allowed them to blossom. These two areas, research into early learning and foster parenting, have combined under Dr. Shanker’s guidance to inform Brenda’s self-regulation work.
