We support school, community, and state collaborative efforts to address whole child development: social, emotional, physical, and cognitive.
Our experience and expertise makes us the perfect partner in facilitating advocacy efforts and building collaborative partnerships to drive progress in addressing whole child development in our schools and communities.
We prepare and deliver highly effective presentations and materials on a range of topics, including child development & neuroscience, adverse childhood experiences, trauma, stress & resilience, educator & staff wellness, and social emotional learning (SEL).
We provide technical assistance using the National Center for School Mental Health's (NCSMH) School Assessment and Performance Evaluation System (SHAPE) to increase the quality and sustainability of comprehensive school mental health systems.
