Overwhelmed by Crisis Moments?
Dysregulated, the online course, is for every nonprofit staff, community organization staff, juvenile justice professionals, mental health treatment staff, teacher, paraeducator, and administrators. If you work with tough kids this is for you.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by dysregulation challenges, you’re not alone. So many professionals go without effective training, leaving them feeling helpless in crisis moments.
Are you an administrator or manager?
What training are you providing your staff on managing challenging behaviors?
Is it evidence-based? Is it highly effective? Or, like many organizations, are your staff left to figure it out as they go? No training —or ineffective training—is a recipe for disaster. Poorly managed challenging behaviors can escalate into safety risks, staff burnout, legal liabilities, and long-term damage to the children and youth in your care.
Introducing...
Dysregulated
Dysregulated is a self-paced course that helps educators, youth workers, and caregivers understand what’s really happening beneath the surface when a young person is overwhelmed, shut down, or acting out.
Rooted in brain science and built for real-world application, this course unpacks emotional dysregulation without shame or overcomplication.
Participants will gain tools to recognize nervous system responses, reduce escalation, and respond with compassion instead of control—building safer, more supportive environments where both youth and adults can thrive.
You'll Learn to...
Identify the signs of nervous system dysregulation in children and youth
Understand the brain-body connection that drives behavior
Shift from reactive to responsive strategies that actually work
Create environments where safety, regulation, and connection come first
This isn’t about fixing kids. It’s about transforming the systems and supports around them—starting with you.
"As a former Harlem Globetrotter and youth basketball coach, I’ve spent years working with young people, both on and off the court. This course on dysregulation and youth is a game-changer. It offers clear, practical strategies to help professionals better support kids in navigating their emotions and challenges. Whether you’re in education, coaching, or any youth-focused field, this is a must-have resource. Highly recommend!"
-Michael Wilson, former Harlem Globetrotter, youth basketball coach, Director of Recreation & Sports

"I signed up for the program hoping I would get something out of it, but fearful that it might be a waste of my time. The course so incredibly surpassed even my highest expectations and I cannot thank you enough for the work you have done. So many times coursework is put together that feels like an afterthought, or something which a person threw together begrudgingly. You probably do not know how much I appreciate that you poured heart and soul into this course, made it useful, and meaningful."

SYSTEM GAMECHANGER
Dr. Jennifer Ulie is not your typical consultant. She’s a former educator, school board member, nonprofit founder, and nationally recognized systems strategist who brings a rare mix of lived experience, academic rigor, and unapologetic realness to every room she enters.
“I highly recommend Dysregulated: Transformative Strategies for Professionals Working with Youth in Crisis. Dr. Jennifer Ulie has developed an insightful course that equips educators, mental health professionals, youth pastors, and support staff with practical tools for assisting youth in crisis. I particularly commend her emphasis on addressing the root causes of dysregulation rather than over-focusing on behavior. Her approach challenges the common reliance on punitive measures, advocating instead for a holistic perspective that fosters meaningful transformation in attitudes and interventions.”
