Creating compassionate policies is a cornerstone strategy of educational leadership. This guide provides a deep dive into developing, implementing, and evaluating trauma-informed and compassionate school policies. It highlights four "choice points" for education and mental health leadership:

  • Choice Point 1: Names & Definitions
  • Choice Point 2: Platforms & Levers
  • Choice Point 3: Approach
  • Choice Point 4: Match Process to Product

This guide is designed to be hands-on! Each choice point comes with examples, guiding questions for leadership, and practice suggestions to help policy come alive. Also, see below for the accompanying infographic.
