San Diego Trauma Informed Guide Team (SD-TIGT) Strategic Plan 2016-2018
After seven years, the San Diego Trauma Informed Guide Team (SD-TIGT) had evolved and grown significantly, as had the trauma informed movement. Upon reviewing the initial Strategic Plan, developed in 2009, it was found that it was time for this document to be revised. A dedicated group of core members began meeting with the daunting task of updating the Mission, Vision, and Goals. In November 2015, the SD-TIGT was fortunate enough to be one of 14 Mobilizing Action for Resilient Communities...

Getting on the Same Page: Developing a Strategic Plan
Plans change. That was a key lesson learned by the San Diego Trauma-Informed Guide Team (SD-TIGT) as the group worked to hone a strategic plan. The network had begun as a grass-roots collaborative, and members wanted to preserve that sense of openness and inclusion. At the same time, with Harmonium, Inc., as the backbone organization and the MARC grant as an impetus, the network also needed structure, goals and clearly defined roles. Already, the Guide Team’s focus had shifted; what began in...

Re: No expulsions for students in Lincoln brawl (sandiegouniontribune.com)
From what I've observed, Restorative Justice (RJ) holds offenders accountable in powerful ways that traditional sentencing does not. That is, the offenders would take responsibility, take part in facilitated gatherings to see what can be done to make amends, and work towards reconciliation. One of the most significant results of Restorative Justice is that the repeat offender rate is significantly lower than following the usual system of punishment--- and it also actually saves taxpayer...
