Here is what our clients have to say about the 10 Steps to Create a Trauma-Informed School Training.
Terry Dangerfield
Superintendent, Lincoln Park Public Schools
We're finally doing the right thing for kids.
We have very few tools, suspension, and code of conduct, so send them out. We felt we were not meeting their needs and there was danger inside the school... We're now sitting here with the highest test scores since the MSTEP started, and the highest enrollment in 13 years.
