Introduction

Jeff Putthoff,SJ ·
My name is Jeff Putthoff, SJ. I will be moving to St. Louis in July to become a president of a Catholic high school in North County St. Louis.

I am interested in connecting with folks in the St. Louis area who are working on issues of ACES and also finding people who would be interested in working in a trauma-informed educational school!!!!

Jeff, Feel free to checkout my website where you will find contact information and more videos. After you get settled, I'm always open to meet to discuss what my team has done at the high school level. Our work really became solidified during Ferguson and responding to the communities that we served in North City. As you probably are aware, the educational landscape is being flooded by trauma-informed programs and practices. The key is helping schools and educators put these practices into...
