Reply to "PBIS-Trauma Informed-RJ all living together?"

Yes! Thanks for processing your thoughts on this here, Tina. A trauma-informed restorative justice/practices approach in a school setting, as exemplified by Cherokee Point Elementary School, San Diego CA, Lincoln High School, Walla Walla WA, and Spokane WA, includes meeting the basic needs of children and families, whether that be a bed to sleep on at home, food, a coat, medical services, a hug, or a peace corner. Everyone who interacts with kids throughout the school day is trained in what it means to be trauma-informed, from the first contact with the bus driver, to the janitor, to the principals, as your example so accurately demonstrated the need for. I return to these stories often for inspiration, guidance, and specific examples of what this work looks like in practice. The trauma-informed restorative practices integrated approach is dependent on creating creative cross sector collaboration, the goal of our work here and far beyond.
