WhyTry Webinar Series
Understanding the Role of Stress and Trauma in Education Today – Supporting Staff and Students Through a Brain-Based Lens
Through stories, examples, and a lively panel conversation, we’ll explore how to support students whose emotional responses seem out of sync with expectations, how to help students regulate before we reason with them, and how understanding “state-dependent functioning” can completely change the way we approach learning and discipline.
Relationships and the Power of Connecting with Every Student with Bill Milliken
In this webinar, we will discuss ideas from education leaders on how to adapt to individual student needs and become a “relational router” to connect them with key support systems and develop the skills they need to succeed at school, at home, and in life.
From Trauma to Triumph: Resilience-Based Strategies for Improved Student Behavior
Join us for a powerful, free panel discussion presented by the National Alternative Education Association (NAEA) and WhyTry, that dives into what it really means to be trauma-informed—and how schools can build resilient environments where both students and educators thrive.
Restorative Practices in Action: Strategies to Build Stronger Relationships and Resilient Classrooms
Join us for an engaging and insightful webinar, Restorative Practices in Action: Strategies to Build Stronger Relationships and Resilient Classrooms. This dynamic webinar brings together experienced educators who are passionate about using restorative practices to strengthen student relationships, improve classroom culture, and promote resilience.

Before behavior – Applying the Neurosequential Model in Education Within and Beyond the Classroom
Every educator has faced moments when a student’s behavior leaves them feeling confused, frustrated, or at a loss. Whether it’s a student shutting down, lashing out, or reacting in ways that don’t “fit” their age or environment, the question remains: What’s really going on—and how can I help?
