Kids need a place to feel safe and
a safe place to feel.
Our world now is more complex, busy, and emotionally disconnected than ever. This is a recipe for disaster when it comes to kids’ emotional health – which translates to challenging behaviours. Children are more anxious, aggressive, and shut-down than ever.
But there is still so much we can do – as educators, social workers, and helping professionals. Our caring leadership matters. And the invitation and safe spaces we provide for children and youth to belong, feel, and experience their capacity will help them on their journey towards emotional growth and resilience – not just today, but for the rest of their lives
For over 25 years, I have created trauma-informed learning environments and experiential programs that provide children the emotional safety to learn and grow.
Every educator, social worker, and helping professional that works with children and youth every day can do this, without prescriptive strategies, special tools, massive program budgets or specific curricula.
I’m here to show you how.
Let’s get started.
