Bridge the Gap is a 2-hour, trauma-informed workshop designed to strengthen collaboration between families and school teams.

Rooted in emotional intelligence and built around real-life Missouri case studies, this experience equips participants to:

-Understand common conflict triggers in school-family communication

-Rebuild trust through better documentation and shared language

-Improve problem-solving during IEP, 504, behavior, and general education challenges

This is not about blame.

It’s about building bridges with students at the center.

-General education teachers
-Special education staff and case managers
-School counselors and administrators
-Parent liaisons, care teams, and family navigators
-Families seeking to be more effective and empowered partners

Each session brings both sides together to practice collaborative language, deescalation tools, and reflective listening with time for Q&A and discussion.

-Practical tools for reframing conflict as opportunity

-Documentation strategies that support clarity, not confusion

-How to build capacity for emotionally charged conversations

-Legal compliance without losing human connection

-Real examples of Missouri families, educators, and school teams navigating hard conversations and getting better outcomes

-In-person or virtual

-School-hosted PD (1.5–2 hours)

-Family night or community partnership

-Co-presented with our school partners or parent organizations

We tailor the session to the audience so everyone walks away with something they can use tomorrow.
