Teacher, 25+ years
The training and support I have received from Roots Education, has been a benefit to not only me as a parent, but also to my clients, that I support in my social work practice. From the minute you meet Trish, you will start to believe and envision a new way of working with children. The resources and training offer simple, realistic, and easy to implement techniques to promote physical, mental, and emotional health. Trish truly exudes peace, joy and hope, and she understands the challenges we all face. Having been a first responder during the mental health challenges of our current climate, it is imperative to me to have easily accessible resources for children and adults to learn to better manage emotions, increase confidence, and build community. Roots education has been an asset to my social work practice, and to the countless teachers, parents, and students, that come to me in search of personal growth and emotional stability.

Trish had such a clear understanding of my classroom that I actually thought she'd be in my room! To say she 'gets it' is an understatement. I left the training re-inspired and equipped with so many tools to use right away!

Before this work and coaching I had a very skeletal knowledge of SEL and what it meant. After completing the Roots to Rise Coaching, I have fully embraced SEL and why it is so critical to not only students, but staff in every school in our country. I cannot wait to put the information that I have learned in this course into practice in my school, district, and state. This course is a must for anyone that wants to delve deeper into SEL and how they can be a championing force for this movement. – Paige Brown, 20+ year educator and teacher leader
