Introducing Our Signature Program:
 Framework for Cultivating Calmer Schools®

The Calmer Schools® framework helps school teams create the necessary conditions for safety, belonging, regulation, collaboration, and repair — then provides a practical roadmap for bringing those conditions to life across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 supports.


Ready to Create a Calmer School?

The Framework for Cultivating Calmer Schools® brings together the what and the how of trauma-informed school transformation. The Necessary Conditions help school teams create the foundation for a calmer, more connected school community, while the Roadmap guides teams in putting those conditions into practice. Together, these frameworks help schools move from awareness to action in ways that support educator well-being, reduce burnout, improve student outcomes, strengthen attendance, and reduce office referrals.

Don't just take our word for it

"Meredith is an amazing trainer, who is a true pioneer in creating trauma informed schools and classrooms. Her workshops" are inspirational and transformative, as she draws on her own experience of leading an underperforming school and remaking it into a place of nurturance and true social emotional learning.

Meredith has done amazing work with our staff to transform and challenge our staff to become more trauma focused and aware. It is through this amazing training we have had a significant reduction in office referrals because staff are better equipped to creating a calm classroom. These trainings have been transformational in our own lives which has had an impact for our students. We could not be more pleased with Meredith and the impact she has and continues to have on our staff.
