Growing Resilience - Informed on Trauma (GRIT)

As a former school counselor, planning board member of the first fully-trauma-informed school in South Carolina, speaker at several major education conferences, and Trust-Based Relational practitioner, my take on compassionate practices comes from years of advocacy and training. This podcast is the fruit of over 5 years in the trenches of high-risk schools as an educator and school counselor. Utilizing the hard-fought skills gained meeting childhood adversity and its impacts head-on in schools, my hope is to share those nuggets to support other educators and caregivers on their trauma-responsive journey. Whether your goal is to improve classroom behavior, shift from old punitive mindsets to new restorative and preventive ones, or just to be more inclusive in your daily journey- I hope you find support here for your trauma-informed journey! Join me on the #healingjourney of #resilience as we discuss the realities of the school system today, promoting resilience, and discuss life-changing tools that meet kids where they are while supporting caregivers. It's time to see the landscape of education move from intervention to PREVENTION. From surviving to THRIVING. #TheTimeIsNow #TraumaInformed #TraumaInformedSchools #TBRI #SchoolCounselor #EducationalConsulting #Education #ElementaryEducation #Teacher #Principal #elementaryeducation #EarlyChildhood #MentalHealth #K12Community #CompassionateSchool #KnowBetterDoBetter #Disruptors
