What is the one thing, that if it doesn't happen, nothing else matters?
The science is clear. We can build resilience at any age.
To help people understand the science of resilience, we have coined, and live by the motto:
I see you
I hear you
I am with you

that deep and lasting change happens over time in community with others, together.
that safe supportive relationships heal brains.
our schools and organizations can be places of hope and healing.
our staff and our parents are the greatest resources in a child's life.
everyone is valuable and has a purpose.
that in order for any of us to thrive, we must be in environments where we feel seen, heard, and connected.
in order to transform our schools and heal brains, we must build and become truly trauma-informed places, where we discipline to teach - not punish - and where we understand that both learning and behavior are brain issues and not character issues.
