​
Join others from across our education ecosystem for a transformative training program brought to you by All It Takes, the producers of A Trusted Space, Redirecting Grief to Growth, and Meeting The Moment. This professional development program provides support for anyone in our education ecosystem redirecting the social, emotional, and mental health challenges that are exponentially rising post pandemic.
​
It is time to engage, to interact, and to create trusted atmospheres in our educational system. Building Trusted Spaces provides skills for you to guide your staff and peer group through this powerful experiential learning program.
Research results are unanimous; trusted relationships are the single most important asset humans need to support their social, emotional, and mental health. This powerful training takes what we know and translates it to what we do, in real time.
As research cites, trusted relationships are one significant antidote to the stressors our youth and adults are experiencing. These relationships are the catalyst for developing resilience, efficacy, responsibility, compassion, empathy, positive decision making skills, and fundamental identity development. Educators have rarely had the training and experience to navigate such emotional times with their students and are often expected to just do it, and do it well.
​
Good intentions are real; staff often believe they provide an atmosphere of trust while what students experience is the opposite. Becoming aware of this disconnect can completely change the dynamic in a classroom and the culture on a campus.
The essence of social-emotional learning, (SEL), develops naturally in atmospheres of trust. Trust is built most effectively when an SEL lens is genuinely embedded into all interactions with our youth and one another. As critical as we know this is, achieving it continues to be challenging.
Shifting paradigms, mindsets, and traditional classroom delivery styles often is met with resistance. The Building Trusted Spaces PD program positively influences over 95% of those participating, even most naysayers.

The Impact of Building Trusted Spaces:
​
"It was one of the best, if not best conference I’ve ever been to and I’ve been in education 20 years so that’s very telling."
- Jill Lewis, Counselor
​
"This is such important work that was framed in a new way- that feels doable and relevant to current times."
- Jill Scorby, Counselor
​
"I wish this was a requirement for our school counselors."
- Elizabeth Dinh, Assistant Principal
​
"I enjoyed all of the activities - it’s great to see the community building as we went along."
- Eileen Higgins, Program Specialist
​
“We don’t ask teachers to teach calculus without
them learning high level math, we need to treat
embedded SEL the same. Our students need us to embed SEL traits into our work with them, we need
to teach HOW to do this.”
​
"I’ve been in education sixteen years. This is by far the best training I have ever received. The information was incredible. All of the presenters are engaging, knowledgeable, personable, and you can tell they believe in what they are doing."
​
