Description
Integrating Interoception into School Social Work Practice
Interoception and emotional regulation are essential concepts that assist in understanding human functioning and well-being. Interoception, a person’s ability to sense and interpret their body signals, plays a critical role in managing emotions. Students with strong interoceptive awareness can effectively identify and respond to their feelings. Poor interoceptive awareness makes social or other challenging school situations difficult to manage since there is an increased sensitivity to stressors and reduced coping strategies. Incorporating activities that enhance interoception enables a school social worker to support students’ emotional regulation and foster resiliency.
This capstone presentation explores the integration of interoception into school social work practice. The current research on school-based interoception programs will be reviewed, followed by an exploration of the theoretical foundation supporting the incorporation of interoception. The presentation culminates with concrete interoceptive strategies. Capstone attendees will learn how to incorporate interoceptive practices into their daily work with students to enhance students’ emotional regulation.
