Hi Sharon, I may be able to help you connect to local resources, where are you located?

Hi there ! My name is Sharon and I am desperately trying to get my daughter out of high school due to the trauma she has suffered. On top of having SEVERE anxiety , she was attacked at school and other girls have come out of the woodwork threatening her. I pulled her out of school and now I am trying to find a k-12 that will work with her IEP (which is due to her anxiety) as well as her ACES . Please someone help me !!! Thank you !

Thank you for providing practical strategies and guiding questions. This is such a valuable resource for teachers and schools to support them to build positive relationships

The most power is in the conversations and daily practices that occur each day. Each person’s self awareness and developing awareness of how trauma impacts behavior and relationships can provide an opportunity for healing and breaking the cycle of creating more trauma.

What I appreciate about this is that through offering guiding questions, it compels the reader to reflect on what they've done/considered/assumed/etc. -- rather than giving a prescriptive set of instructions. Self reflection among adults is so often overlooked to the detriment of repairing relationships with students where the focus is typically on the student to change and/or reflection on their behavior. Thanks for sharing here.
