council for school faculty & staff


Perhaps more than any other sector, education has been dramatically impacted by the COVID19 pandemic. Over the past year we have seen significant changes in the way educators interact with students, creating high levels of stress and demand on administrators and faculty alike. Our education system has undergone a complete transformation from in-person to virtual, and now to socially distanced and blended models. While the system’s primary priority has been servicing students and families who have faced their own cadre of challenges, school faculty and staff have been under-resourced and stretched beyond their limits. As we begin this next phase of healing and rebuilding through the pandemic, it is time to commit resources to support overburdened educators and administrators. Our council-based programs not only support sustainable careers in education but foster more cohesive and compassionate school communities.

​Dozens of schools in Southern California have implemented council into their campus culture, and have experienced its profound impact on the energy and involvement from groups within and outside of campus. Stakeholders engage more deeply, staff develop a greater sense of connection, and students feel seen and valued, leading to a more meaningful educational experience that promotes equity and opportunity. Our team of council trainers represent decades of experience working in education, early childhood development, and child and family therapeutic practice. 

​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.
