Calm in the Chaos: Practical Tools for Uncertain Times

This dynamic, resilience-focused presentation equips participants with simple, evidence-based tools to reduce stress.

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, how do we stay steady, clear, and courageous?

This dynamic, resilience-focused presentation equips participants with simple, evidence-based tools to reduce stress, regain a sense of control, and respond to uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

Ryan Oelrich, President of the Center for Trauma and Stress Education, weaves together powerful personal stories with groundbreaking research to illuminate how fear and uncertainty impact us—and, more importantly, how we can move through them.

Participants will leave not only with practical strategies they can immediately apply, but with a renewed sense of steadiness, perspective, and the courage to navigate whatever comes next.
