Do you work with or teach children who are struggling to thrive? We can help.

Toxic stress and trauma can impact learning, behavior and relationships at school. There is an urgent need to build kids’ resilience and strengthen coping skills. Students, teachers, staff and parents need support to guide kids through current and future stressors due to the pandemic and more.

We work with schools and organizations that want to learn to meet the mental health needs of the kids they serve. We offer virtual and in-person training about how trauma impacts children and what you can do to help them now.

Our Approach

First, educators and staff learn about brain development and developmental trauma in our engaging and interactive workshops.

Then, our experienced trainers help school personnel apply that knowledge to their work with children in context. For example, if we are training in a school, we offer in-classroom teacher training.

Teaching Topics

Developmental trauma and brain development: why it matters
Creating a psychologically safe environment
Why traditional behavior modification doesn’t work
Identifying risk factors for students and staff
Skills: window of tolerance, managing energy & self-regulation
Building resilience, social and emotional skills
Involving community: partnering with parents and caregivers
