council for school faculty & staff

Perhaps more than any other sector, education was dramatically impacted by the COVID19 pandemic. This unprecedented health and social crisis had an enormous impact on students as well as educators and created high levels of stress and demand on administrators and faculty alike. The entire education system was rocked by this worldwide health crisis and is still recovering, while school faculty and staff remain under-resourced and stretched beyond their limits. Our council-based programs support professionals across the spectrum of the educational system and foster more cohesive and compassionate school communities.

​Our team of Council Trainers represent decades of experience working in education, early childhood development, and child and family therapeutic practice.

​Center for Council's programs in Los Angeles schools and organizations have had a profound and transformative impact. Through participating in council, youth feel seen and valued, leading to a more meaningful educational experience that promotes equity and opportunity, teachers and other staff develop a greater sense of connection, and community stakeholders engage more deeply. 

​Program outcomes include:

• school communities become more cohesive and compassionate
• stakeholders engage more deeply
• staff develop a greater sense of connection
• students feel seen and valued

​Council not only increases campus well-being, but also provides a dynamic platform for the development of creative school curricula, instructional strategies, support services and Restorative Justice practices.
