All of our Healing Schools Initiative activities and products are grounded in Restorative Principles, an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to education.

Our offerings respond to the daily realities of educators and school leaders, supporting both immediate needs and long-term transformation.

Our team has over 30 years of experience working with schools and school systems. We also know that no two schools – or even school years – are the same. 

Below is an overview of the types of workshops and resources we have developed, which can be tailored for different contexts or goals. Email us or schedule a meeting with a member of our team to learn more.

Educator Resources and Tools 

Building a sustainable, restorative classroom or school culture requires a multifaceted approach, led by school-based staff who are empowered and supported to adapt tools and practices to work for their students and families.

We support school leaders and champions by providing templates for restorative approaches to student discipline.  What makes our resources different is that they were developed with input from local teachers and with careful consideration of implementation.
