Raising Calm
Silence is not the absence of sound — it’s the presence of clarity. As children mirror the stress around them, this training session will help adults in their lives model calm insight and emotional wellness. Whether used as a school wellness initiative, parent engagement effort or professional development series, silence provides a rare and much-needed space to pause, reflect and reconnect for the benefit of every child and every community.
