Support our stressed out teachers and students!

Amy Butler / Building Resilient Schools: T.I.E.R.S. program

Students show up too stressed to learn. 

Teachers are at their breaking point.

Our team of trauma therapists work with teachers to help them manage stress — theirs and their students’ — so classrooms can be calmer, more focused places to learn. 

Every teacher we train becomes a healing force for hundreds of students over their career - turning classrooms from places of stress into spaces of safety and learning for generations of vulnerable children

About Support our stressed out teachers and students!

For three years, our TIERS program has been transforming K-9th grade classrooms in the Springdale School District. Now in our final year, we need your help to keep this vital work going. 

What We’re Doing: We’re currently serving four schools, providing micro-trainings and consultations built by trauma therapists that equip teachers with skills for managing their own stress and supporting students who arrive in the classroom carrying high stress. 

The current schools:
•K8 Connect
•Central Junior High
•Westwood Elementary
•Tyson Elementary

The Impact
• Teachers feel supported and equipped to handle classroom challenges
• Students stay in their “learning brain” instead of survival mode
• Teacher burnout is being prevented in practical, meaningful ways
• Students build confidence instead of believing they “can’t do it” 

Our Goal: We need to raise $50,000 by the end of the year to close the funding gap and continue this program in all four schools. My personal goal is to raise $10,000!

Help us keep teachers teaching and students believing in themselves.
