Building a Restorative Restart to School in the Fall
As we look towards the reopening of in-person instruction in the fall, planning and reimagining for a restorative restart to our school systems that emphasizes student and educator mental health is a priority. In addition, there is a windfall of one-time funding coming to districts from federal and local funds for just this purpose. Recently a wise educator said to me, ‘you know, if you want to get to the hearts and minds of school leaders to make changes for the fall you need to do so by...

Re: Building a Restorative Restart to School in the Fall
Thank you so much for sharing, Lara. The Zoom you hosted about this topic was informative. I just want to say that I will be sharing the full report, brief and powerpoint slides with our NZ Ministry of Education and Ministers for Education because the framework with the five restorative practices are transferable to our context here in NZ. There are a plethora of resources available on the web, so many that we get overwhelmed by the deluge facing us.....that is why it is so helpful when you...

Re: Webinar: School Mental Health - From Implementing ➜ Funding (Moved to Jul 7th)!
The school district of Broward County, Florida has 250k kids & 250 schools - we have contracted for "suicide evaluations" of "selected" students. This is preposterous. Can and WILL PACEs please offer to provide the PACE tests and to provide a post-test evaluation and follow-up to my school district of 250K students and 15k teachers as part of a "suicide evaluation?" Consider it, please? Let me explain... Truthfully, it is the district's double-speak way of saying it wants to sick the...

Re: Webinar: School Mental Health - From Implementing ➜ Funding (Moved to Jul 7th)!
Hello All, We've (school district of Broward County, FL) approved & contracted for "suicide evaluations" of "selected" students. Is this correct? I have not seen the suicide-evaluations but I have sat through the full yearly psychology presentation and the PD, professional development so teachers can better identify (target) children at risk (of being a problem in the future). I came away from these experiences convinced that district "solutions" like these are a big part of the problem.

The growing battle over school mental health and social-emotional learning
This is an urgent all call to those of us who believe in trauma-informed and healing-centered schools that support the whole person. After reading the recent NBC article “Parents protesting 'critical race theory' identify another target: mental health programs , ” I quickly put aside the blog I had been working on because I knew this was too important. Concerns from colleagues about the rising backlash against increased priorities of mental health and social-emotional learning (SEL) have...
