Empowering Students in the Classroom and Beyond

Too many students lack security or a sense of belonging. Our programs work to create a greater sense of permanence and stability to support students within and outside of the classroom. Along with our programs, we provide trauma-based training that helps educators provide support that impacts students’ academic and personal lives.

Support diverse learning with innovative educational programs.

Address and support diverse social-emotional needs.

Equip students with essential skills and support to confidently transition to their next steps after school.

Access comprehensive trauma-informed training and resources.

You Want to Support Students…

But it can be extremely challenging to find resources for students with trauma-based or social-emotional challenges. The result is a never-ending search for trustworthy, outside support. 

Students and educators deserve easy access to trauma and behavior-informed training and resources for the classroom.

JRI is your teaching assistant, resource library, and personal trainer for trauma-informed practices and addressing social-emotional needs.

Build Communities of
Care in the Classroom

Our training is rooted in Building Communities of Care (BCC), a trauma-informed approach for educators and specialists that can be applied to students of all ages.

BCC was developed by mental health, education, trauma treatment, and residential and community-based care experts. Depending on the training topic, it can be completed in 16 to 24 hours, with or without physical intervention content.

BCC helps educators…

  • Improve classroom management
  • Increase student engagement
  • Create more supportive environments
  • Developing educational policies that promote trauma-informed practices
  • And more!
