Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
This page is a growing home for the tools, recordings, and materials that support trauma-informed practice. You will find past webinars, helpful downloads, and new resources as they are created each month.
A resource we recommend starting with
The Paradigm Shift American Children Need—That Teachers Are Ready to Make
Whole Child Initiative trainer Andrea Poehl shares why our old scripts for managing behavior are failing and what needs to change to help every child, every teacher, and every system thrive.
Conversations you can listen to and learn from
Our monthly webinars offer simple and usable ways to understand behavior, trauma, and what children need from the adults around them. Each one builds a foundation for trauma-informed practice in any setting. More recordings will be added over time.
The Whole Truth about Student Behavior
A clear introduction to how stress and survival shape behavior and what helps children regulate.
How to Meet Holiday Stress with Better Tools
