Hi PeacePraxis community! Help me celebrate 20 years of PeacePraxis! Full website coming soon with new offerings. I'm continuing to offer services in SEL, bullying prevention, school climate, conflict transformation, resilience and more. I apply principles of equity and trauma-informed care and prioritize compassion and relationships. If you're familiar with my work (or curious about it) and would like to inquire about training for 2025-2026, please reach out so that we can discuss the options and I can get you on the schedule.
