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.

“One of the best PD’s in 24 years in education”
“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.”
"This was outstanding. I learned a lot and feel that I could actually teach this to staff (which does not always happenat a trainer of trainings). The pacing was great and the team was excellent. I felt that we had great time to connect with colleagues and learn important information."
​
"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. I left this training with a sense of renewed purpose. I’m very grateful to have been a part an amazing two days with such beautiful people. People who love kids and what them to be successful."
“I am leaving with a heart full of love and inspiration...
I love bringing play into the classroom and
creating a safe space for all.”
"Engaging and informative. Pushed comfort boundaries
while giving grace."
“I believe this PD improved our school’s sense of community.”
