We've now reached It's the three day weekend that officially kicks off the 23 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:23,000 summer season, a time for hanging at the beach, barbecuing, even catching 24 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:30,800 a few laps of the five hundred. But Memorial Day is also the most 25 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,800 solemn American holiday, a day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice while 26 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:46,639 defending their nation. The Civil War America's bloodiest chapter. Over six hundred thousand 27 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,759 soldiers killed in action. Almost every community in every state suffered the loss of 28 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,879 young men. As the war came to an end. Mourners in both northern 29 00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:00,199 and southern states began placing flags and flowers on the graves of fallen so the 30 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:05,080 town of Waterloo, New York, is officially credited with starting the holiday. 31 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,319 On May fifth, eighteen sixty six, its citizens closed their shops and businesses 32 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,080 so that everyone could decorate the graves of the men killed during the war. 33 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:19,120 Then an old war general had an idea. John A. Logan was the 34 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,759 leader of a Union veteran association. He spearheaded an effort to unite all the 35 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:30,639 decoration services into one national holiday, designating May thirtieth as Decoration Day. On 36 00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:36,199 the first National Decoration Day eighteen sixty eight, five thousand war widows, orphans, 37 00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:40,439 and other mourners gathered at Arlington National Cemetery. They placed flowers and ribbons 38 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:46,919 on the twenty thousand graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. Two future presidents 39 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,439 and fellow Union veterans, Ulysses Grant and James A. Garfield, attended the 40 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:59,520 ceremony. Throughout the nineteenth century, Decoration Day grew. Ceremonies were held in 41 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,599 major See Civil War battlefields like Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Antietam Field in Maryland. 42 00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,960 By the end of the century, the holiday was renamed Memorial Day, but 43 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:15,319 war wounds ran deep. Most Southern states refused to commemorate a holiday they regarded 44 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,560 as honoring Union soldiers, so each state commemorated their war dead with different Confederate 45 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,839 decoration days. Several Southern states continue the tradition to this day. World War 46 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,360 I ushered in the age of modern warfare. America lost over one hundred and 47 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:36,480 thirty thousand soldiers in the global conflict. This shared experience finally bonded America's North 48 00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:42,199 and South when the war ended. May thirtieth became a day to honor all 49 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,160 American soldiers who died in battle as far back as the Revolutionary War. America 50 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:54,519 interred its first unknown soldier in Arlington National Cemetery on Armistice Day, nineteen twenty 51 00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:59,199 one. Every Memorial Day, this soldier and other unknown soldiers are honoured with 52 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,800 a wreath layings ceremony conducted by the President or Vice President. They are reminders 53 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,279 of all those who never made it home. Memorial Day became the federal holiday 54 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,560 in nineteen seventy one, and Congress shifted it from May thirtieth to the fourth 55 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,439 Monday in May, giving federal workers a three day weekend. All across America, 56 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,959 veterans and civilians still gather in parades and vigils to remember the generations who 57 00:05:25,000 --> 00:06:14,839 gave their lives for their nation's freedom. All right, stop, said Francisco 58 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,160 to NYC.

So even as an adult, when you hear your full name, 98 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,080 you just know yes, gotcha, gotcha? And uh well let's let's open 99 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,879 it this way. Congratulations, you just want an award? I did, 100 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,159 Thank you so much. Yeah, tell us about it. So our organization 101 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,960 was voted to be the New Hampshire Business of the Year in the area of 102 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:48,600 education. Oh, congratulations, congratulations. That's awesome, pretty exciting for all 103 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,840 the changes that we've been able to do and a lot for the pro bono 104 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480 work that we provide the community. Yeah, so, yeah, so tell 105 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,559 us about that. Tell us you know, because a lot of our listeners 106 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,639 probably may not have heard our previous conversation. And part of why we were 107 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,600 so interested in having you back and having you in studio is because I we 108 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,039 really enjoyed us speaking with you. But tell us again about what you do 109 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,879 and then we'll get into some details. So, in a nutshell, what 110 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,120 we do is we provide behavioral support strategies to school districts for both the staff 111 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:26,480 as well as the students. So by doing that, we're actually creating alternative 112 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:33,080 education programs typically, and within those alternative education programs, we take students that 113 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,559 display intensely disruptive behaviors and we then reintegrate them into the classes that they were 114 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,559 formally usually attending but because of their disruptive behaviors, have not been able to 115 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,519 access those classes. So we do that by teaching them safety skills, regulation 116 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,960 skills, and then doing some of the tougher stuff where we're working on social 117 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:58,039 emotional learning and all the other strategies. And then we disappear into the woodwork 118 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,759 and we're gone leave that district and work with someone else. There's never a 119 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,320 shortage of work. I can imagine. I can imagine, especially since in 120 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,320 a way, I mean you're the kind of work that you're doing. I 121 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:20,559 would imagine it's not a field that a lot of or a specialty. I 122 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,600 should probably say that a lot of people in your field necessarily want to get 123 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,919 into, right, because I have to tell you it sounds extraordinarily challenging, 124 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,799 you know, the moment you're talking about disruptive kids and behavioral issues with kids 125 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,840 students, it's like it sounds overwhelming challenging, But I will say, hugely 126 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,559 entertaining at times, and there's never a dull moment, like you're doing something 127 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,720 at all times, and the difference in the progress that you can see in 128 00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:54,720 the students is just miraculous. We had a student that staff was talking to 129 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,919 me about yesterday that had been on our case load and he was suspended fifteen 130 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,759 times last school year. Wow. His aggressive behaviors and the fact that he 131 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,039 was eloping from the school on you know, pretty much on a daily basis. 132 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,720 And he got the Citizenship of the Year award this school year. Wow, 133 00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,360 and is off our case flowed. Yep. He is no longer with 134 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,600 us, and that's when we say goodbye. You know, oh, that's 135 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:22,639 incredible. That's incredible. So that must be the kind of thing that makes 136 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,639 it all worth it. It really does, and that is, you know, 137 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,960 one of thousands of stories where we come in, we provide what they 138 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,720 need, We give them the strategies and the skills. We do the same 139 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:37,120 thing with the educators and then we try to get out you know, yeah, 140 00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,639 give them back their schools and everything else. And we do this by 141 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,440 training them, but we're also training the students in the same way. We 142 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,440 should mention too, because you one of the school districts you work with obviously 143 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,600 is Guildford, New Hampshire, and we have a mutual friend. It turns 144 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,799 out Mike. You Mike Lachlan, who a very very talented musician, and 145 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,159 he's been on the show a bunch of times over the years, and I 146 00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:01,720 used to work with him. Well. When I first met Mike, he 147 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,440 and I were working for the same company. When those who've been in the 148 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,519 area long enough might remember Strawberries, we had a location in Guildford and Mike 149 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:13,360 and I worked there together for for a while. But we've worked together two 150 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320 over the years and in other ways too. In the music business. He 151 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:20,960 uh uh, there's another show that I host on another station that actually started 152 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,360 with Mike as the original host. Oh that's so neat. And then he 153 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:28,320 kind of passed the baton to me because he didn't really have time for it 154 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,639 to do it every week. And uh, but yeah, Mike's jeez, 155 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,799 I've known Mike for oh more than two Wow, where does the time go? 156 00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:37,440 More than twenty years now? But yeah, yeah, such such a 157 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,879 talented guy and just a really good, really good dude. He is. 158 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,559 He's a great guy, absolutely absolutely. Now, so you mentioned so how 159 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,399 long are you in a school district, because you said you're you're, you're, 160 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:52,519 you're there to help, but then at a certain point your your work 161 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:54,519 there is done quickly one to two years. So we're there as long as 162 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,480 we're needed, but I will say after usually a year to two years, 163 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:02,960 we're not. So typically when we come into a school district, we're providing 164 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,200 all the professional development and we're you know, also providing the direct supports to 165 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,639 the students that have some of the more intense behaviors, and once they're not 166 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,159 displaying those intense behaviors, we're starting to transition out. Okay, So at 167 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,639 that point in time, there really is no need for us to continue. 168 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,759 That's what we specialize in, and we're not setting up camp and staying in 169 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,960 the district for years and years on. And some of the districts we just 170 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,639 transition to other programs or to different schools, so we might start in their 171 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,159 high school and then go to their middle or elementary and then rotate back after 172 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,840 a period of time. Because of turnover, we have to teach and that 173 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,320 sort of thing to more of the staff and the newer staff and that sort 174 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,519 of thing. But for the most part, we're usually out within one to 175 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,799 two years, okay, and that's the goal. Yeah, if you're just 176 00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:51,919 joining us, we have doctor Bethany Billideo here with us, a doctor be 177 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,480 as she's also known, live in studio. The studio line is open if 178 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,080 you have any questions or feedback or anything at all for our guests six three 179 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,399 two five six seven six O three two five o six seven. Of course, 180 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,640 you can also interact into opine in our Facebook live chat, or you 181 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,640 can comment at Matt connorton dot com slash live. You can text us at 182 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,200 six one seven nine one four seven six, But of course the best thing 183 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,599 to do is give us a call on the studio line six O three two 184 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,720 five O six o seven, and I do see some folks in the Facebook 185 00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:26,000 live chat. Uh Miriam vanishes in the chat room. And Miriam, of 186 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:32,720 course works with works with kids in in Bedford. Yeah, oh I don't. 187 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,599 I don't know if I know her. Hi, Miriam, how are 188 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,839 you? Yeah? Miriam is wonderful, Yeah, but she has her her 189 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,440 job is also very very challenging. And uh, who else said I seen 190 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,720 here? Isaac Banks is in there and uh b Penard good morning b and 191 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000 uh Jay Fed of course from the great state of Vermont, also in the 192 00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:56,599 chat room, and uh Sarah Patno also in the chat room, says morning, 193 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,440 good morning. Uh. She says, uh, how can education access 194 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000 your training if not local? Ah, great question. Yes, So we 195 00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:10,319 do a lot of traveling outside of New Hampshire. I'm actually headed to Texas 196 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,039 next week. I'm headed to Florida the following month. I'm headed to Mississippi 197 00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,279 the month after that. So we do travel around quite a bit. But 198 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,720 they can also access our free trainings that we do on Thursday. We do 199 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,160 a free training every Thursday through the Behavior boot Camp. They can sign up 200 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,400 for that and just jump on and ask a behaviorist questions, talk about their 201 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,960 specific challenge that they might have, those sorts of things. We also offer 202 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,359 a course there as well, at the behavior boot Camp. So do you 203 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,400 do that every Thursday? Yeah? We do the live webinar every Thursday. 204 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,279 Wow, And we hold it at various times and people just need to go 205 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,759 and sign up for it. But it's one of the ways that we can 206 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:56,079 work with our community and really access how people are struggling with their specific scenarios 207 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,359 and everything. So okay, excellent, joins us in the Facebook live chat, 208 00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:04,839 says, good morning, Good morning Emily and Emily Picard. That's a 209 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,400 day of Emily's She says, how can we fight fatigue throughout the school year? 210 00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,880 Most school staff I talk to are exhausted. Yeah, most people are 211 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,400 exhausted. Let's be real, Well, this is a question I probably get 212 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,839 on a daily basis. I'm actually doing a Facebook live on this topic actually 213 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,960 on Monday, and I think some of the biggest things are we need to 214 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:34,559 oxygenate our bodies and things like that. Without getting into all the technical jargon 215 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,400 of it and that sort of thing, but I'll say that you typically the 216 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:41,599 fastest way that I do it is I either try to get people outside for 217 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,440 a few minutes to get some more vitamin D in that sort of thing, 218 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:49,319 drinking water. Oftentimes I'll be like, oh, I have this errand can 219 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,400 you run up to the library and drop this off, even if it's a 220 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,920 send that student back down to me sort of thing. Or I'll try to 221 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,359 get a staff to walk with me somewhere. If I notice that they're really 222 00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,880 intense and stressed about a situation, I'll say, I'd love to talk to 223 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,559 you. Can you just go with me for a moment, And I'll try 224 00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:10,079 to find some stairs where we have to go up or down the stairs in 225 00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:14,000 order for them to push kind of that oxygen throughout the body and those of 226 00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:18,599 medium acids into the muscle groups and all that fun stuff. But water, 227 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,119 a little bit of movement, vitamin D, you know, those things can 228 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,000 work, wonders. Vitamin B is also a huge one too, So if 229 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:30,400 you you know, in a lot of countries are supplementing with vitamin B instead 230 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,640 of other medications, So making sure that you're getting enough vitamin B is huge. 231 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,240 Yeah, Jenny makes sure, Jenny, make sure you Jenny, you 232 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:45,759 work on most New Englanders. Most New Englanders do have low vitamin D levels 233 00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:49,640 because we typically don't get it on the sun. I know, obviously check 234 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,799 with your own doctor and do what your primary recommends. In our situation, 235 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,359 our primary recommends twenty five hundred I use in this in the spring summer months 236 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,400 and then the fall five thousand I use. Yeah, but definitely check with 237 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,720 your doctor because it is a super common thing, especially here in New England. 238 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,640 And unless you're standing outside without your clothing on, you're not probably gonna 239 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,279 get enough vitamin D. I mean, that's just how it is. And 240 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,559 as my husband would say, that's not professional to do that. So we 241 00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:25,680 just recommend and if you are spending time out in the sun, make sure 242 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,839 you're wearing sun block because then you have the opposite. So it's really it's 243 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,359 that delicate balance to keep our health in line for us one percent, Yeah, 244 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,799 and if you're feeling fatigued, that's a huge part of it. In 245 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,160 quality sleep, there's so many people that I work with that don't get good 246 00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:44,799 quality sleep, and there's so many simple hacks to get good quality sleep. 247 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,400 My husband always makes fun of me because I go to bed, I've got 248 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,039 the eyemask on I've got my lips taped together so I breathe through my nose 249 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,799 and this and that, and he's like, you're a sexy animal. Bethnally, 250 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,079 that is just screaming. You know, you're sleeping better I do, 251 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:07,519 which makes me much a much kinder person. Yeah, it's funny you mentioned 252 00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:11,519 that because as a hypnotherapist, I'll you know, people come to me for 253 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,400 various things. Quitting smoking is the number one thing. But I'll always ask 254 00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:19,920 during the pre talk and Miriam nosis, she's a client of mine, I 255 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,240 always ask, is there anything else? You know, because you can add 256 00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:25,680 as many things as you want to into a session. We usually have the 257 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,039 main thing, but we can add other things. And the biggest thing that 258 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,200 I hear is, yeah, my sleep isn't great, or or I'll ask, 259 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,519 I'll you know, they might not mention it, and I'll always ask, 260 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:37,319 by the way, how do you sleep, because a lot of people 261 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,920 will tell me, you know, they don't go into the session thinking about 262 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,039 that, but they'll say, oh, now to mention it, Yeah my 263 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,680 sleep isn't great. Yeah, yeah, And that's becoming a huge thing in 264 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:49,240 hypnosis, which I'm sure that you're starting to get more and more people, 265 00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:53,319 and we're definitely directing people in that area. I was listening to an audiobook 266 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:59,160 this morning on the origins of hypnosis and all of that, and it's becoming 267 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:03,440 the huge thing to help access sleep self hypnosis and those sorts of pieces to 268 00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:07,880 get yourself to sleep better. Yeah, and all that. So fighting fatigue, 269 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,599 yeah, definitely check it out. Absolutely. Miriam also mentioned and this 270 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,039 leads into a question she said, oh, sorry, here it is. 271 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,839 She says, I work in intensive needs and we've had short staff in the 272 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,559 last two weeks. And the question that that brings to mind for me is 273 00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:32,960 have you noticed, because I mean, obviously you know we're post pandemic, 274 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,319 but it's still a problem in schools, right, you know, much of 275 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,160 a problem, more so now than it was the first couple of years outside 276 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,759 of COVID. Really yeah, yeah, why significantly more. And one I've 277 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,200 got to say, Miriam, I give you a round of applause for showing 278 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,920 up to work because that is huge right now. The tardiness and also you 279 00:23:55,039 --> 00:24:00,519 know, people calling out that's significant because and it's mainly because of the fatigue 280 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:06,319 issue. So that is just huge. So and we've seen it more and 281 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,559 more now, and it's because of the stress level that people have. They're 282 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,279 so much more aware of things that are going on due to social media, 283 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:18,079 due to people talking about things and all of that, that their stress level 284 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,640 is significantly increased over what it was a few years ago. So what kind 285 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,799 of things can people like Miriam do who are in situations where they are short 286 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,759 staff. So obviously that's more stress. It's what can you do when you're 287 00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:37,000 in that situation to reduce your own stress or keep your head in the game 288 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,839 a little bit easier than it's overwhelming. It is overwhelming. I think prioritizing 289 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,799 is one is making sure, like I've got to address safety issues first, 290 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,279 make sure you know what the priorities are in your establishment. So figure out 291 00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,519 how to prioritize, keep that task, and take a moment for self care, 292 00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:57,279 which I know that this is sometimes hard to do. And you're saying, 293 00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:00,559 oh my gosh, I'm so stressed. I can't go pee because I'm 294 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,680 so stressed, and I can't leave this person or so on and so forth. 295 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,039 That's when you need to reach out for help. And I know that 296 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,119 that's a really really hard thing to do, but reach out to help and 297 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,839 say I need someone to come cover this for a few minutes. I've got 298 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,799 to use the bathroom, even if it's a matter of I'm just standing in 299 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,960 the bathroom stall taking a few breaths, you know, work on your breathing. 300 00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:26,400 Make sure that that exhalation is longer than the inhalation, because that will 301 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,559 force your body into the area of the nervous system that you want it in 302 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:34,119 so that you can be the most rational at that point in time, because 303 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,960 otherwise you're going to be functioning in the fight or flight. You're going to 304 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,799 be releasing tons of cortisol. You're going to be really overstressing your body, 305 00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:45,119 which is going to put you at risk at being sick, not getting as 306 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,079 good sleep, in all of those other things. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 307 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:52,960 Marian, you're on fire girl. You go. She is. She's 308 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,720 awesome. Yeah, she says. My school treats me well and show so 309 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:03,680 much appreciation. That helps. They are great. I've been in Bedford. 310 00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,200 Oh, okay, excellent, excellent. I would imagine too. I don't 311 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,119 know if the and I've never thought to ask Miriam about this, but you 312 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,440 know, we we are in an economy where nobody seems to have enough help. 313 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:19,000 Does that affect schools too? So it affects schools so much. There 314 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,799 there are so many times where I've been in a building where they've said, 315 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,000 uh, I don't know what to tell you. We've had to pull staff 316 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,240 and so on and so forth, and the you know, they're not able 317 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,519 to provide the level of service that they would expect that they would be able 318 00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:37,640 to provide. It is a huge issue. And with things rising, I 319 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,640 mean you see in all industries pretty much that they have increased the rates of 320 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:47,799 pay and that sort of thing. Those impact those systemic organizations a little bit 321 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,400 later. So school districts end up with those rate increases a little bit later 322 00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,359 on. So it's really challenging for them to find people, yeah, to 323 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,359 come in and provide those services. And that significantly impacts the stress levels of 324 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,759 everyone else because they're constantly trying to find ways to cover things. And that 325 00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:08,920 affects the kids too, right, So it's so much affects the kids. 326 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,279 It's really the concept about how to do more with less. And we train 327 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,960 this all the time, how to do more with less because we have less 328 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,759 humans, So how can we teach students more of these skills? How can 329 00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:25,880 we teach staff more of these skills so that they can reach more people, 330 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,079 so that the needs will decrease over time. Yeah, Sarah, patno asks. 331 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:36,039 I hear a lot about biohacking. What is that? Honest to goodness, 332 00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:38,960 I was watching a documentary about that last night. Oh my gosh, 333 00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:45,240 Sarah, you sneaky. So I am probably you know, and many people 334 00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:48,720 don't know this about me, but I am. I am all about biohacking. 335 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,640 I am in on it. We I do it continuously. I mean 336 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,400 just you know, on a daily basis. Even things like I get up 337 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,400 in the morning, I have my lemon water with my prebiotic in it. 338 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:03,559 You know, in the last couple of SIPs, I put my cayenne pepper 339 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,319 in and take a shot of that. All of those are biohacking. It's 340 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:12,839 just a matter of getting your body to function that what is biohacking. Biohacking 341 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:19,839 is when you're you are actually utilizing your body systems to create an environment that 342 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,640 you're looking for, versus the other way around, versus your body systems creating 343 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,160 it the other way around. Okay, I was watching last night said his 344 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:30,160 intention is to live to be one hundred and eighty. Oh, you must 345 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:37,880 have been listening to Dave Asbury. I think it was. Yeah, yeah, 346 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:44,359 crazy, Yeah, he is very well known in that field. Isaac 347 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000 Banks says, I've been drinking sprite zero sugar. That's probably not on the 348 00:28:48,079 --> 00:29:00,359 biohacking menu. That soda is out. Energy drinks they're out. What I 349 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,359 mean, there are some things that you know you can utilize to create you 350 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,960 know, you add electrolytes to your water and those sorts of things. But 351 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:14,799 the traditional energy drinks, yeah, are not not real healthy, even the 352 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,200 sugar free ones, even the sugar free So what do you drink? Just 353 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,000 lemon water? I drink water, water, I drink nothing but water. 354 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:27,079 I drink a lot of water. I drink I say that again. Te 355 00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:30,000 Yes, I drink a ton of tea. Oh tea is allowed. Yeah, 356 00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:33,440 I drink a ton of tea. I do drink coffee. I drink 357 00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:41,279 coffee. Some camps say yes, some camp say no. My camp says 358 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:47,640 yes. I like your camp. So I drink coffee that has trace minerals 359 00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:52,279 added to it. And I also drink coffee that is has different sorts of 360 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,519 medicinal mushrooms added to it. Oh. Interesting yeah, yeah, with caffeine 361 00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:00,200 or no caffeine, caffeine, why would you drink decaffinated coffee? Well, 362 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,440 that's that's that's the thing, because that's good because I want to drink a 363 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,400 coffee and it tastes gone and just like man. And although you know, 364 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,079 I've had a lot of people are like, you do not need caffeine, 365 00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:17,279 girl about me, But if they haven't seen you without it, they don't 366 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:18,920 know. True, how would they know? Yeah, that is true. 367 00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:25,160 I think today and yep, I love I love coffee. I look forward 368 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,799 to it more than those things in life. I have to say. Somebody 369 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,599 was asking, oh yeah, Sarah asked this question too, or made this 370 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,640 comment. She says, uh, I saw a Facebook story about when kids 371 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:45,000 get detention they do yoga instead of sitting. The detention rate dropped due to 372 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:48,880 the students being more regulated. That's interesting that. Yeah, yeah, that's 373 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,720 such a great idea. Yeah, yeah, we do a lot. We 374 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,519 never call it yoga. We have a lot of young men in our programs 375 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:03,759 and yoga's not real well really no, we call it get it body positionings, 376 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,160 a lot of position and they're okay with that. Yeah. Yeah, 377 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,160 every now and then they'll say, doctor b this looks a little like yoga, 378 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:15,279 and I'll be like, really, no, maybe I love that. 379 00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:25,480 Are you trying to pull one over on us? Oh? Miriam said, 380 00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:27,240 I have an app on my phone that reminds me to drink water. Yeah, 381 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:32,640 I get the impression. I've and I've always thought this that that's like 382 00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:37,359 the number one thing that people don't do that they should be doing health wise 383 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,559 is drinking enough water. Absolutely absolutely, and you can tell I mean that 384 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,519 when people don't have enough water. I'll say probably more than ninety five percent 385 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:51,119 of our student population shows up dehydrated every day. That I totally believe that. 386 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,519 Yep. And then they're like, oh, here's this car based breakfast. 387 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,079 You know. So between those two things, so you have control over 388 00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:01,480 encouraging someone to drink water in a school, that's an easy thing to do 389 00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:07,079 so. And water is you know, one of the regulators that works for 390 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,319 all human beings. So we often encourage people, you know, drink water, 391 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,119 fill your water bottles, you know, water the plants, fill up 392 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,720 the dog bowl, do all those things that encourage you to be around water. 393 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,680 That yeah, so and a lot of times we just carry empty water 394 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,480 bottles with us and we have kids like here you go, go fill it 395 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:30,119 up, that one's yours and everything, just so that they have water bottles 396 00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:34,039 on them because they don't often have containers to put water in, so if 397 00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,400 they need to get a drink, they have to go to a water fountain. 398 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,799 I'm telling you, it becomes a mess within minutes. They put the 399 00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:42,480 water in their mouth and then they spit it all over themselves or you. 400 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,960 They're just regulated, so you know, and then it becomes this battle. 401 00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:50,039 You know. I'm usually just like whatever, it's just water, We're fine, 402 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,480 Yeah, but that you know, then that's got to be cleaned up. 403 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,200 Somebody might fall and everything else. But if you have a water bottle, 404 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,839 then you don't necessarily need to leave the classroom right right now? How 405 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,519 did you and I know we talked about this last time, but for listeners 406 00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:07,599 who didn't hear it, how did you get started in doing what you do? 407 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,680 Because as I mentioned earlier, it sounds like, you know, it 408 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,720 sounds like a realm that so many people would just be terrified of. Yeah, 409 00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:20,200 really to get into. So how did you start so it had? 410 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,240 I want to say it probably started in childhood for me because I wasn't a 411 00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:30,200 great student in elementary school, and I went to school in a very very 412 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:32,599 old building, had lots of nooks and crannies and everything else, and I 413 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:38,319 knew where every single one of them was because those where I would I So 414 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,759 when I was supposed to be in class, I was all over the building 415 00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:47,039 and doing things that I probably shouldn't have in elementary school. By middle school 416 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,359 is a little bit more on track. And then at the end of middle 417 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,000 school, I had a family member who passed away that was pretty significant, 418 00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:58,960 and I ended up sort of buckling down and doing what I needed to do 419 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,480 and became this very quiet, more introverted person except when I was in sports. 420 00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:07,440 But I will say, like my mother would always yearly get that letter 421 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:09,480 of your child is not going to pass, she's not going to graduate, 422 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,480 you know, so on and so forth. Because I missed so much school, 423 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,920 so as soon as sports weren't in session, I was sick. And 424 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,480 I say air quotes because I know people can't see me air quotes sick because 425 00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:23,639 I just didn't want to go to school. So school is really really tough 426 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:30,039 for me. And then when I had my first child, he really struggled 427 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:36,800 with those social environments was really intense and they termed it physically aggressive. You 428 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,400 know, people are like, oh, no, it'll be great, it'll 429 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,400 be fine until your kid bites their kids and then they call and they're mad. 430 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,639 So you know, after three day carees, we found a great organization 431 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:59,960 that provided ot therapeutic supports within their school settings. So it was a Montessori 432 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:04,599 based school that also did a lot of regulation strategy. He did fantastic, 433 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,599 had some struggles in elementary school, but by the middle of elementary school he 434 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,559 was doing great and everything else, and I said, this is like my 435 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,559 home. When I went to that school, I was I could totally this 436 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,199 is where I want to be. And at that point I had been working 437 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,000 with adults who experienced disabilities, and I said, I really want to work 438 00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:28,119 with youth more. And I was living out of state and the woman who's 439 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,960 still the special ed director in Guildford School District contacted me and said, Bethany, 440 00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,840 we need your programs. Can you come back? And so I started 441 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,199 the organization because of that, and that's why Gilford is one of my home 442 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,199 districts. And Esther Kennedy has been key to helping us kind of evolve over 443 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,039 the years. Okay, okay, and so now so how long how long 444 00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:53,239 has it been that you've been doing that? Almost nineteen years okay, okay, 445 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,519 excellent, and I've been in the field for close to thirty. Yeah, 446 00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:01,440 that colon these different school districts that you go into, I mean, 447 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:07,360 I mean, I assume some are more challenging than others, right of course. 448 00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:10,400 Yeah, Like, what's the what's an example of kind of the most 449 00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:15,960 challenging. I almost said that the worst, but I don't want to put 450 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,079 it that way. The most challenging school district that you've gone into. I 451 00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:22,719 mean, I'm not asking you to identify the Yeah, And I think that's 452 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:29,360 my perspective because some school districts they have more challenges as far as behavior disruption 453 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,920 goes, but they have a system that's set up for support and so that 454 00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:37,360 works very very well. So there are some schools that we have programs in 455 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,519 all levels of their schools, elementary, middle, high school, we have 456 00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:45,440 a program in all of their buildings, but they have a system set up 457 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,000 for support, so it runs unbelievably well, things go super smooth. And 458 00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:53,719 then other school districts don't. They don't have those programs they don't have a 459 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:59,679 lot of trauma background. They really don't work with those populations significantly, so 460 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,840 they don't have the training needed to provide the support. So those are the 461 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:08,000 most challenging situations when they don't have a setup to provide that because traditional methods 462 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,920 do not work with the student population that we work with. Okay, so, 463 00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:20,039 and we're looking at it more from a trauma lens than from a compliance 464 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,920 lens. We get to compliance, but that's a ways off, you know, 465 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:29,239 it's you know, the students that we're working with typically they're not ready 466 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,960 for compliance because they're not regulated enough to be able to do that. We 467 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,840 get there, and usually when we do get to compliance, that's students no 468 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,119 longer on our caseload. We're like, okay, yeah, back to you 469 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,480 guys. Here you go, and they're doing it from their perspective within their 470 00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:46,320 organization. At that point, when you when you first started in the early 471 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,199 days of doing this, did you ever have moments where you felt like, 472 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,119 wow, this is really this is really hard, Like was it for sure 473 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,559 harder than you expected? Yes, I mean I can remember one time I 474 00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:04,039 had a EMO was interviewing and I can't believe she even ended up working for 475 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,960 us, but she was interviewing and she watched me get my nose broke. 476 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:13,079 Oh my god, and the student, it like, just headbutted me so 477 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880 hard and I broke my nose. We were in McDonald's parking lot, and 478 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,480 I wouldn't go back to that McDonald's for like five years. I was mortified 479 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,800 that I had gotten my nose broken there and everything else. And the student 480 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,079 would ask every few weeks we go to McDonald's, and I'd be like, 481 00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:31,679 not today, not today, And every now and then I'll say, oh 482 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,679 my gosh, I'm not sure how to deal with this, or I'm in 483 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,519 over my head. And at that point, that's when I reach out to 484 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,880 specialists and people who are more progressive in the field and that sort of thing, 485 00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:46,599 and I have them actually start to train me on their methods. And 486 00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:50,760 that's part of the reason why we're so progressive is we put so much time 487 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,960 and money into continuing education that before what we took us, you know, 488 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:00,000 three four years to accomplish, we can now do in three months. Wow, 489 00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:05,159 that's excellent. On the other side, do you do you ever go 490 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,000 into a situation where it winds up being I don't know if easier is necessarily 491 00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:13,239 the word, but often but it really yeah where yeah, yeah, that's 492 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,360 good. Yeah. There's a lot of times where they'll call me and they'll 493 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,519 say, Okay, you're observing this one and I'll say, Okay, I 494 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,199 think we could just do this, this and this, but what about that 495 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,320 one over there? Yeah, they'll say, well, we had some concerns 496 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000 about that, but that hasn't risen up. And I'm like, it's gonna 497 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,119 you're gonna see it soon. Let's be proactive and get that, you know, 498 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,039 things on track so that we don't have those continuing issues come about and 499 00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:45,599 it doesn't erode the student's self confidence. Miriam and the Chat says training is 500 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:47,480 a big part of keeping staff. It is scary to work with kids without 501 00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:52,199 training and without strategies to help kids. Well, that's what you see all 502 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,519 the time too, that you're you're you're you're going into situations where you know 503 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,440 people who are they're they're doing their best in that school, but they're in 504 00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:04,480 over their heads dealing with these kids because they haven't had the training right. 505 00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,800 Yeah, you know, and that is really the huge part of it is 506 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,880 that the turnover increases if you're not training, You're gonna have turnover if you're 507 00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,000 not providing that training. People do not feel connected because they don't feel like 508 00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:22,760 they have the tools to do their job. Yeah, we were in a 509 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,559 school a couple of weeks ago. We've been faced. We had a student 510 00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:30,199 come on to caseload who is really challenging, and they were moving a student 511 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,920 off so we could provide support and putting that student with a new staff. 512 00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:37,599 And we went back to them and said, we don't think this is going 513 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:40,119 to work. Have this staff with us, have both students with us, 514 00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:46,239 so that we can train that staff because she she cannot navigate this yet she'll 515 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,719 be able to. She's gonna learn the skills. We're going to teach her 516 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,280 those skills, but we want to make sure that she has the skill she 517 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,639 needs to be productive. And it is, it's going, it's going great. 518 00:40:57,039 --> 00:41:00,519 Yeah, you good. I would imagine that's a big part of what 519 00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:05,320 you do too, is not only you know, not only trying to help 520 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:13,960 help the situation, but getting you know, kind of encouraging these these teachers 521 00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:15,760 to hang in there. It's more of that, yeah, is that is 522 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,840 that kind of Yeah? And a lot of times they're feeling like I'm trying 523 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,559 this. I'm trying this and it's not making a difference. Having someone come 524 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,000 in and validate them to say it is making a difference. If we just 525 00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,800 added this one other piece, you would see it move leaps and bounds. 526 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:36,599 And it's not rocket science. These strategies are really simple things like have them 527 00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,880 store their backpack under their chair instead of on the back of their chair. 528 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,320 That way, when they lean over to get their backpack, they're putting pressure 529 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,239 on their stomach, which pushes serotonin out into the bloodstream. Interesting, simple 530 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,440 stuff. Wow, But people don't they're not aware of it, right right, 531 00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:53,599 Yeah, No, I mean my trick is always students think that I'm 532 00:41:53,639 --> 00:41:58,639 the klutsiest person in the world because I'm always dropping things or falling or whatever. 533 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,519 And it's usually just so that they'll help me, you know, so 534 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:06,760 that they one they have that inversion they're standing down to pick something up for 535 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,480 me or doing something like that, or they're carrying my backpack because I can't 536 00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:13,079 carry it because it's too heavy, and those sorts of things, and it's 537 00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:16,480 weighted work and fun stuff. But yeah, I mean, they're they're all 538 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,280 great kids, and they just they just need to be put in the right 539 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,480 environment to be successful, right right, Emily Picard and the chatroom asks what 540 00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:31,039 is the best thing to do when a student starts getting angry or you're responding 541 00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:37,079 to a situation and they are already angry. Lower your volume, yeah, 542 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:43,039 slow down your speech. Make sure that your hands are between your shoulders and 543 00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:47,280 your hips. Keep your thumbs up because your thumbs convey confidence, and have 544 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:52,800 a split stance with your feet, so that will convey confidence, but it 545 00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:57,119 also shows safety. So you want to be able to show safety with your 546 00:42:57,159 --> 00:43:01,079 body. And if you're like my which is the progressed stage, then you 547 00:43:01,199 --> 00:43:06,639 also want your mouth slightly open because that will also it makes you look like 548 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,840 you're more engaged. If your lips are together because of the downturn of the 549 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,800 lips, that will end up making you look like you're more fierce. Okay, 550 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,559 everything, So students will tend to trust you a little bit more because 551 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:19,519 of that. Try to open your eyes a little bit wider, but not 552 00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:22,559 to show the whites. So all of those things will make that student feel 553 00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:25,800 safe and give them some space. And I often put it on the person 554 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,639 who's angry. I'll say, am I safe? Standing here, and that 555 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,960 usually halts them for a second and pulls them a little bit back into a 556 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,400 different area of the brains that they're not completely in the amygdala, so that 557 00:43:38,519 --> 00:43:42,480 they'll say, Okay, no, you're not safe. You need to back 558 00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:44,480 up, And I'll be like, okay, can I take like one baby 559 00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:47,159 step back right get out of the room. And I'll say I have to 560 00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:51,039 be here for safety, but I can back up and give you space. 561 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,920 So them having control over that makes a huge difference. Great question, Emily 562 00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:58,639 one, two, or three. I'm not sure which number, Emily. 563 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:04,599 You are a lot of emilyes. Do you go all over the country with 564 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,920 us? You mentioned you're gonna be this summer, You're going to I think 565 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,039 you mentioned Mississippi, Florida, Texas. Yeah, yeah, we do. 566 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:14,599 I did a lot more traveling prior to COVID, but we still do quite 567 00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:16,559 a bit of training. We do try to encourage people to, you know, 568 00:44:17,079 --> 00:44:21,320 go through our course first and then if you still need us, then 569 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,400 come to us and everything. There's no lack of work, of course, 570 00:44:24,199 --> 00:44:27,920 but you know, go through that. See what you can get for tools. 571 00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:30,079 Look at our stuff on social media. You know, we want to 572 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,519 put the tools out there as much as we possibly can. So our goal 573 00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:39,599 is really to create environments where people feel safe psychologically, physically, mentally, 574 00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:43,719 they feel safe, and we want to be able to give those tools to 575 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,880 as many people as we possibly can. Right right, No, that makes 576 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,400 sense. Where's the furthest of you? Like? Have you gone all the 577 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,239 way out to the West coast? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I've been 578 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,599 to California a number of times. I actually was going to California almost every 579 00:44:54,719 --> 00:45:00,519 year up until COVID, and then I was teaching remotely right for that? 580 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,079 So okay, okay, very good. Yeah, if you have any questions, 581 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,159 we do have a doctor Bethany billode o' here for a few more minutes. 582 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,119 Uh six O three two five six seven is the studio line six O 583 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,280 three two five O six oh seven. If you have any questions or feedback 584 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,400 or anything at all, uh, Sarah patno asks. Uh how do we 585 00:45:16,519 --> 00:45:23,079 access the course again the behavior boot camp dot com? Okay, that's simple, 586 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:30,159 Miriam says. So can PARA professionals take classes independently or does it need 587 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,119 to be through the district? Oh? Great question, that is a great 588 00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:36,960 question, Miriam. Miriam, you are girl, I know, I said 589 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,199 it before, but you're on fire today. You can definitely take them through 590 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,800 the district. Uh, you know, certainly ask your district about PD. 591 00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:49,960 I do PD more directly to teams in that particular district. Yeah, then 592 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,360 I do full group trainings in that sort of thing. But you can certainly 593 00:45:54,719 --> 00:46:00,920 utilize the course and access that free webinar we have that we have behaviorist on 594 00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:06,639 that webinar every week that's there to answer questions and give some really simple strategies 595 00:46:06,679 --> 00:46:09,559 that work for most people. And that is an easy way to start accessing 596 00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:15,000 our resources. Now, did we talk about I don't think we talked about 597 00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:20,880 this specifically, Core Core Methods cor E yep. Did we talk about what 598 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,320 that stands for? Connecting our resources educationally? Okay? Okay, So that's 599 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,280 the name of the program. That's the name of the program that provides its 600 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,880 services into the school districts. Gotcha, yes, okay, all right. 601 00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:37,159 But our training platform is through the Behavior the Behavior boot Camp. Okay, 602 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,360 got it? Now? Is that something? So do you recommend that for 603 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,920 the Behavior boot Camp? Do you recommend that for only for educators? Or 604 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,199 it's written for educators? But I wrote it, and I wrote the curriculum 605 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:58,599 because I had such a hard time teaching parents strategies over the phone. So 606 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,119 you know, I spent a lot of time with parents on the phone, 607 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:05,199 and I had was just so challenged at saying this is how you should stand, 608 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,119 this is what you want your face to look like, so on and 609 00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:08,320 so forth. Thing It's like, I've got to do it in a video 610 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,519 format, And COVID really opened the door for that, Yah, for us 611 00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:16,000 to be able to do that, because I'd had that dream of creating it 612 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,599 about three or four years prior to COVID, and then with COVID coming in, 613 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,639 I was like, we just got to do this. This is something 614 00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:27,880 that we have to create. We add new curriculum to it every summer and 615 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,039 really enhance the product with what's coming down as being the most progressive methods and 616 00:47:32,119 --> 00:47:37,880 what we've tested to be the most progressive methods because we're constantly testing different techniques. 617 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,400 Yeah, it's when it comes to the pandemic. I've always said, 618 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,960 you know, obviously it was a terrible experience for us, for the world. 619 00:47:45,199 --> 00:47:47,679 Yeah, but we have to find those silver linings where we can. 620 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,440 And one of the silver linings is the way that it kind of forced people 621 00:47:52,599 --> 00:47:59,840 to be more progressive. That's a good word about technology and using technology and 622 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,440 the work. You know, I can tell you I I've always been someone 623 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,639 who really embraces technology, and I love technology and and you know, and 624 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,719 I have to be into it to be able to do this. But when 625 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:16,079 it came to doing hypnotherapy uh via I use doxy and uh. But when 626 00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:20,719 it came to doing that, doing that virtually, so to speak, I 627 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,440 was late to the party on that. You know, I'd always either done 628 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,480 well really, I'd always done in person, you know, or you know, 629 00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:31,519 recorded sessions for people to send them an MP three and whatnot. But 630 00:48:31,679 --> 00:48:36,159 but to actually, I don't know why I was so so resistant, but 631 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,440 I just I wasn't comfortable with the idea of doing it online at first, 632 00:48:39,639 --> 00:48:43,079 you know, and then you know, the pandemic shows up, and it's 633 00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:46,599 like, well, gotta gota so but it's a subject that comes up a 634 00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:49,920 lot on the show because you know, we also interview a lot of musicians 635 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,360 on here, and uh, when when the pandemic hit, all of a 636 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:57,800 sudden, all these musicians are are doing you know, concerts strictly on line, 637 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,000 doing all kinds of cool things online that they weren't necessarily doing before or 638 00:49:01,079 --> 00:49:04,639 not as much of so. So, like I said, we have to 639 00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:08,639 find those silver linings where we can. But oh, I'm sorry I shot 640 00:49:08,679 --> 00:49:13,599 your mic up off when you got earlier. You what I put up with? 641 00:49:14,039 --> 00:49:17,800 Yeah, I haven't seen my therapist in person in the years. Yeah. 642 00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:22,159 Yeah, my daughter sees a therapist and I don't think we've ever met 643 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,440 her in person. Oh no, kidding. Yeah, I actually really like 644 00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:30,519 being able to just be in my comfort zone. It's not nicer them sitting 645 00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:35,320 in that waiting room with that snow machine. Yeah. Well it's I tell 646 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,119 you here. It saved time too, which is the great part of it. 647 00:49:37,519 --> 00:49:40,000 Yeah. Yeah, I just have to tell my daughter she does have 648 00:49:40,119 --> 00:49:45,239 to not change her clothes when she's on we're the therapist and do things like 649 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:50,880 that. Oh my etiquette. It's like you're in her office, honey, 650 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,079 Well, shouldn't be going to the bathroom, right. Kids are used to 651 00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:58,800 this now their world is electrics, And I do have to say during COVID 652 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,320 there's many times I had to tell students that you have to wear clothes when 653 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:09,679 we have sessions. Oh my and parents. Yeah, has this changed a 654 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,519 lot? By the way, you said, nineteen years you've been doing this 655 00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,480 session, has it? Has it changed a lot over the years? Significantly? 656 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,639 Significantly? Yeah, I mean it's it's a world of difference now and 657 00:50:21,039 --> 00:50:24,159 the things that I would have done ten years ago, fifteen years ago, 658 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:30,719 twenty five years ago when I worked mainly with adults are completely different now to 659 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,760 what I do and everything, and that is it's it's part of honing the 660 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,800 craft, you know, and continuing to you know, work on that. 661 00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:43,840 And I spend about two hours every day on continuing ed for myself. Oh 662 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,840 really every day? Wow, seven days a week. Yeah, yeah, 663 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,519 now that's excellent. Now are you working with multiple school districts at once? 664 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,159 Yes? How many? How many a time? Twelve a year? Okay, 665 00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:58,239 I do about twelve schools a year and then and it rotates. Oh 666 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,480 wow. So you know we've worked with I think more than one hundred and 667 00:51:01,679 --> 00:51:06,079 twenty schools at this point, no kidding. Yeah, and we do about 668 00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:09,320 one hundred professional development trainings a year. Yeah, so it's significant. Now 669 00:51:09,559 --> 00:51:14,599 do you ever have a repeat school or school district? Yeah? Yeah, 670 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,000 yeah, yeah we do because there's turnover about every seven or eight years, 671 00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:22,760 we end up back in on that school district we had been in, and 672 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,480 there's some people that are still there. It's like old home day. It's 673 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,280 great to see the people again. Yeah, and everything is and then and 674 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,519 you know, and we're teaching all these newer, more progressive models because sometimes 675 00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:35,599 they'll be like, oh, you know, doctor B I saw that. 676 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,000 I you know, I went to a training with you eight years ago, 677 00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:38,920 so on and so forth, and I'm like, well, come back, 678 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:44,960 because it's going to be different techniques. Yeah. Yeah, I would imagine. 679 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,159 I'm guessing I could be wrong, But from what you've seen, has 680 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,559 turnover increased in schools over the years from when we started? Yeah, as 681 00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:57,000 it Yeah, uh huh, and especially the last two years. Really it's 682 00:51:57,039 --> 00:52:00,920 significant. Yeah, yeah significant. Yeah. We're really lucky as an organization. 683 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:07,880 Our turnovera's very very low, but school districts have really they've suffered. 684 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,840 It's been hard for them. Yeah. Sure. Yeah, and that's nationwide. 685 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,360 I've seen it everywhere. Yeah, I'm not I'm not surprised. I 686 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,480 think there's probably a few reasons for that. But plus, like I referred 687 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,360 to earlier, you know, we're in an economy where you know, if 688 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,920 you if you decide you don't want to be a teacher anymore. You don't 689 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:23,719 have to. You don't have you don't have to be. Yeah, so 690 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,519 for sure, you know, good good for everybody who hangs in there and 691 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,920 still loves it. Yeah, we appreciate you. Please stay, don't leave 692 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:37,239 the education we need you. Do you ever get into a situation where maybe 693 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,960 the maybe a school or a school district has brought you in, but the 694 00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:45,760 staff is I don't I don't know, maybe resistant or maybe most of the 695 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,840 time really start Yeah, are they how it starts out? In most places. 696 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,760 People don't like new things change what they're existing doing. I'm an outsider. 697 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,880 Oh is that what it is? It's not the change. I think 698 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,280 it's both. It's you know, because a lot of the times what I'm 699 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:06,119 doing is different, and many of them don't realize that I was a teacher 700 00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:09,280 at one point in time. So it's a little bit harder for them to 701 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,000 digest at the beginning and and that sort of thing. But over time usually 702 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,800 they end up being our biggest supporters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's 703 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:22,079 excellent. Well, the time goes quickly, doctor bre it does. We're 704 00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:23,880 already approaching the top of the hour. But I want to make I want 705 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,840 to make sure that everyone listening knows how to find you, how to find 706 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:34,239 your organization. Will remind people too about the Thursday nights, Yeah, all 707 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,039 of the webinar that we have on Thursdays at the Behavior boot Camp. Yeah, 708 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:39,920 so what what should people know about how to reach you and how to 709 00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:44,679 the easiest way to reach us is either on social media or on our website 710 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,639 at the Behavior boot Camp dot com. Okay, okay, excellent. Oh 711 00:53:49,199 --> 00:53:52,480 we'll sneak in another question too. Miriam had a question. Can this work 712 00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:55,840 in conjunction with a BA It can? Yes. ABA is more of a 713 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:01,199 compliance based model, and we were very much an ABA company back fifteen years 714 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:07,400 ago, you know, at our inception, So yes, it can. 715 00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:12,639 Our techniques are very different because we're looking at the nervous system, the brain, 716 00:54:13,159 --> 00:54:15,639 you know, the neural hormones that are going on, and the sensory 717 00:54:15,679 --> 00:54:20,559 systems and all of that. So we're incorporating all of those things to make 718 00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:23,719 sure that we're working with the student to make sure they feel safe, they 719 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,920 feel regulated, and then we can get onto those other things. ABA tends 720 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,119 to come a little later. Okay, So we've done the preliminary work. 721 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,920 Okay, gotcha. Gotcha. Well, great questions in the chat room. 722 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,719 Thank you everybody, and doctor b thank you so much. This has been 723 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,519 wonderful. We'll do this again in the future. Fun. Thanks for having 724 00:54:42,599 --> 00:54:46,199 me absolutely absolutely thank congratulations again on that award. Thank you. Oh yeah, 725 00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:50,360 we should mention that again too. And what was your word for We 726 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,960 got the Business of the Year for Business New Hampshire and the area of Education. 727 00:54:55,199 --> 00:54:58,920 Yeah, that is fantastic. Good for you. You're very excited. 728 00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:04,360 Probably not your first one, right, we really fly under the radar. 729 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,440 We've gotten a number of awards before, but usually made it so that it's 730 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,719 presented more to the students and that sort of thing, because we don't really 731 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,320 want to make a big deal out of the company because it's really not about 732 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:19,840 that. It's about their success and yeah, them being able to connect and 733 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,159 integrate and have fuller, more successful lives. Yeah, but it's still though, 734 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:27,719 it's such a great validation for what you do. You know, that's 735 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:32,119 amazing. So congratulations, that is that is very very cool. Give us 736 00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:36,559 a website one more time, the behavior boot camp dot com. Excellent. 737 00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:40,239 Excellent, Doctor Bethany Bilideau, thank you so much. And and something is 738 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,119 playing in the background, and I don't know why, and I need to 739 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:49,039 figure out what that is before we I think I figured it out once once 740 00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:53,199 a show, Doctor b something technical goes for you know, every time I 741 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:58,320 do a professional development training, something technical goes wrong as well. It's like 742 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,199 you're pressing the button slides, aren't we Dang it. I always said, 743 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:07,559 this is not my skill area. I have no idea how problem. Well, 744 00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:10,119 the problem for me is this is my skill area. So when something 745 00:56:10,159 --> 00:56:19,199 goes wrong for me, it's like, ah, you get yeah, exactly, 746 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,000 exactly, all right, I'm gonna play a track from our next guest. 747 00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:25,320 If you're listening live on Saturday morning, we do have Dead Harrison coming 748 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,079 up and we're gonna play one of their tracks, Monolith Lord, and then 749 00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:31,639 we're gonna have Dead Harrison in studio with us. But uh, Doctor Bethany 750 00:56:31,679 --> 00:56:34,119 Bilideau, thank you again. Thank you,
