Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Since October is Bullying Prevention Month, I will be highlighting some of our best podcast episodes all about bullying prevention strategies. Today, we are diving into practical ways to create a culture of kindness in schools. Promoting kindness is one of the most effective ways to reduce bullying. In this episode, I share strategies that teachers and counselors can use to set a positive tone, build empathy, and encourage collaboration. Morning meetings are a simple yet powerful practice that helps students begin their day with intention. Counselors can shadow teachers and suggest SEL activities, such as discussion cards, to promote empathy and connection. Restorative practices, including proactive circles that create safe spaces where every student feels heard and valued. These circles allow students to practice active listening, handle strong emotions, and respect differences. Resolution circles and talk-it-out circles provide opportunities for repair and forgiveness with counselor support. School-wide kindness cards can be passed out to students to recognize and encourage positive behaviors, building a stronger culture of kindness across the campus. By focusing on these strategies, we can create school environments where kindness thrives and bullying is less likely to take root.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT BULLYING PREVENTION Editable Guidance Lesson Morning Meeting Discussion Cards Feelings Check Bullying Prevention School Wide Activities - Fall and Halloween Activities Bullying Prevention Classroom Guidance Lesson for Elementary School Counseling Ep. 61.

On this special episode of the Restorative Works! Podcast, host Claire de Mézerville López welcomes three leaders transforming school culture in Worcester County, Maryland: Dr. Jenifer Rayne, Principal of Pocomoke High School; Carlton Cartwright, Community School Liaison and Restorative Practices Coach; and Lauren Williams, Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health. Together, they share a decade-long journey of embedding restorative practices into daily school life—creating spaces where trust, connection, and accountability thrive.  From early district-wide training sessions to the creation of “Restorative Practice Champions,” Worcester County Public Schools has built a living, evolving framework for fostering belonging. The team explains how conscious discipline, culturally responsive teaching, and adult-first self-regulation are equipping both educators and students with the skills to repair harm, navigate conflict, and sustain healthy relationships.  Jenifer Rayne is entering her eighth year as Principal of Pocomoke High School in Worcester County, Maryland. A dedicated and visionary educator, Dr. Rayne has led this small, diverse high school to national recognition, earning distinctions such as National School of Character, Gold School of Opportunity, and Apple Distinguished School under her leadership. Dr. Rayne holds a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Stevenson University, a K–12 Special Education certification from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, a master's degree in School Administration from Wilmington University, and a Doctor of Education in Supervisory Leadership from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  Carlton Cartwright is a restorative leader and educator with over 26 years of experience supporting student success, access, and belonging on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In his current role he leads initiatives that embed restorative practices frameworks into daily practice and strengthen school-community partnerships. Having received training from the IIRP, Carlton facilitates professional learning and student support systems across Worcester County Public Schools. He believes transformation happens when we lead with rather than to others—building trust, connection, and shared responsibility. His leadership extends beyond the classroom through service in his church, mentoring, and community engagement.  Lauren Williams is a seasoned educational leader and licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience advancing student mental health, family engagement, and restorative practices. As the Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health for Worcester County Public Schools, she leads district-wide initiatives that prioritize student well-being, inclusive leadership, and trauma-informed care. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in principle-centered values, collaboration, and the belief that lasting change happens with people, not to them. Currently pursuing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Lauren is a driving force behind restorative implementation, behavior reform, adult-first self-regulation practices, and community school transformation in Worcester County.  Tune in to hear practical strategies—like revising the district's code of conduct to reflect community-building values, integrating goals aligned with restorative practices into school improvement plans, and partnering with law enforcement for shared training.

Dr Olivia Kessel welcomes back co-authors Georgina Benger and Karen Price to discuss restorative justice as a compassionate, relationship-based approach that helps children understand the impact of their actions and repair harm.• Georgina's research at Cambridge University revealed schools still use the same punishment methods from 1846 despite their ineffectiveness• Traditional punishments fail to teach accountability and create patterns where children accept consequences without understanding impact• Restorative justice shifts focus from punishment to repairing relationships through a seven-step process• Creating a safe space, active listening, and acknowledging emotions are foundational steps in restorative practice• The approach encourages children to explore the impact of their actions and take accountability without forced apologies• Particularly beneficial for neurodivergent children who often experience disproportionate punishment in traditional systems• Implementing restorative practices in schools requires time initially but becomes embedded in culture and ultimately saves time• Children learn to resolve conflicts independently when these practices are consistently modeled• The core principles include prioritizing relationships, focusing on learning rather than labeling, and recognizing that healing should involve everyoneIf getting your child to sleep feels like a battle, download our free 30-day Better Sleep Starter Guide at sendparenting.com/sleep – designed with ADHD in mind but effective for all neurodiverse children.

Dr. Reddick's book Restorative Resistance in Higher Education: Leading in an Era of Racial Awakening and Reckoning (Harvard Education Press, 2023) shares the wisdom he has gained from over three decades of work on diversity, equity, and inclusion in educational settings.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty explores a topic that rarely gets the spotlight but impacts every one of us—the hidden connection between sleep, stress, oral health, and mental well-being. Joining the conversation are John Huff, a lifelong biohacker, inventor, and creator of the Floating Bed, and Dr. Edward Feinberg, a master of restorative dentistry with over 40 years of experience. Together, they uncover why restorative sleep and oral health are not just medical concerns but pillars of emotional resilience, self-confidence, and long-term mental health. From the science of the glymphatic system to the impact of dentistry on self-esteem, this episode reframes how we think about health in the 21st century. About the Guests:   John Huff is an inventor and health innovator known for his decades of research into biohacking, nutrition, and stress relief. His patented Floating Bed integrates pendulum motion into sleep, boosting lymphatic circulation and restorative rest. Dr. Edward Feinberg is a restorative dentistry specialist, author, and educator with a legacy spanning 70 years of documented cases across his family's practice. He is committed to teaching patients and dentists alike about the deep connection between oral health, confidence, and overall wellness. Key Takeaways   Quality sleep clears toxins from the brain through the glymphatic system, directly boosting mental health and stress resilience. Dentistry and mental health are linked: gum disease has proven correlations with systemic conditions like heart disease. Small changes create big impact—avoiding food 3–5 hours before bedtime, reducing blue light, and adding daily motion can radically improve sleep. Restorative dentistry not only preserves teeth but also transforms confidence and lowers stress, impacting relationships and life opportunities. Habits matter: sitting for long periods shortens lifespan, while motion, exercise, and restorative sleep extend it. Meditation and stress relief practices—whether through mindfulness, yoga, or innovations like the Floating Bed—play a critical role in preventing chronic disease. True health requires seeing the whole ecosystem of the body: sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and oral care are inseparable.   Connect with the Guests   John Huff (Floating Bed): https://floatingbed.com/ | Facebook: Floating Bed | Phone: +1 310-766-4536 Dr. Edward Feinberg (Dentistry & Teaching): https://theonwardprogram.com/ Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Host Chris Clarke delves into the profound impact of the Dome Fire on the cherished Joshua Tree forest within the Mojave National Preserve. Marking the five-year anniversary of the Dome Fire, Clarke reflects on personal experiences and the broader ecological ramifications. The devastating event shifted his life, carving a definitive "before" and "after" in his approach to desert protection. Listeners are taken on an emotional journey through the charred landscape of Cima Dome, providing striking narratives about recovery efforts and the ongoing challenges posed by invasive species like cheatgrass and red brome. Clarke's introspection includes insights from Cima Dome experts like Drew Kaiser and Debra Hughson. They highlight both the devastation wrought by the Dome Fire and the collaborative restoration efforts underway. The episode serves as both a sobering reminder of what has been lost and a hopeful testament to resilience in the face of environmental upheaval. Key Takeaways: The Dome Fire of 2020 dramatically altered the landscape of the Joshua tree forest, marking a pivotal moment of change for environmental activists like Chris Clarke. Restorative efforts in the Mojave National Preserve highlight the complexities of ecosystem recovery, facing challenges from invasive species such as red brome and cheatgrass. Personal and ecological narratives intertwine as Clarke discusses the grief of environmental loss and the slow process of healing for the affected landscapes. The episode underscores the importance of maintaining awareness of environmental destruction while finding hope and actionable paths for positive change. Clarke explores the idea of "solastalgia," feeling deep nostalgia and loss for a place he once knew as both an environmentalist and a deeply connected individual. Notable Quotes: "Every time I come back here, it looks worse. The memories of how it used to be become more clear and more ever present in my mind." "I feel as if I'm visiting someone that I have loved for a long time in hospice after all of their brain activity has ended." "When I die, I want to be burned to ash and I want the people that love me to bring those ashes here." "My being around to see it, if you take that literally, is a choice on my part. And I'm not sure why I keep coming back."

Claire de Mézerville López is joined by co-host, Professor Brunilda Pali, for the “Powerful Intersection Between Restorative Justice and Art” podcast series, a special initiative by the IIRP together with the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ).

I will sit still in deep contemplation, Looking back on all I've done. Forgiving myself and forgiving the other, As in the end we all are one.  ☉The whole issue of right and wrong that I discuss in this week's report goes very deep and can trigger a lot of judgment. A person may think they have done nothing "wrong," and maybe they didn't, but maybe they are lying to themselves and/or are blind to or denying the effects of their actions (Neptune). Restorative justice speaks to any harm being done to another person. We may not have done anything "wrong" but our actions could still have caused harm to another person (and vice versa) and we are therefore accountable to that person to do our best to help heal their wound. I like the approach of Nonviolent Communication that speaks to people creating "bad strategies" to get their needs met that end up hurting other people. In this paradigm the person is not "bad," but has used "bad" means to attain their end. No matter how we look at it, everyone is responsible for what they've put out in the world and Saturn never forgets. It may take him 28 years (or more) to bring things back round but he's in no hurry. Look how long the Middle East has been at war! So, it's not a matter of "hurry up and fix it." It's a matter of uncovering layer after layer of our psyche to see down into the root of ourselves and our motivations. My feeling is that most everything nasty that people do is based upon a sense of lack. We're not enough, don't have enough, are missing or got ripped off of this, that, or the other thing/person/experience. We need more money, sex, power, recognition, you name it... This sense of lack comes at the moment of birth when they cut the umbilical cord. It is profound. There is an empty void created that can really only be filled with "Spirit." However, Spirit is in all that is! So go figure! Besides "spirits," (alcohol), their are nature spirits, daimons, angelic spirits, dark spirits, "dead" spirits, there's spirits all over, in and through this place. It's simply that there are some spirits that are more healthy for us than others. If we don't fill our emptiness with healthy spirits, we can stay hungry, greedy, lustful, depraved, etc. and take actions that harm other people. So this time/year of reckoning that we are in is an excellent time to review our strategies with an aim to fill our life experience with healthy spirits thereby letting go of old bad habit patterns that filled the emptiness in the past. Here's to some new healthy habits with Mars in Virgo! This week's song "My Back Pages" by the Byrds!  https://youtu.be/dOqnk4HPwVE?si=GadzaAxwnVmlWiqXOh!  And check out Trevor Noah for a comedian!  https://youtu.be/d-FLVcgZzGs?si=d-XkZ7cqiXVU9cegSo Much Love,Kaypacha

After a 2023 ballot initiative confirmed that anti-abortion sentiment is a minority position in Ohio, the state's anti-abortion industrial complex split into two fairly distinct ideological camps. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams explore the rift between Ohio's “Pro-Life Movement” and their foil, the “Abolish Human Abortion” sect — including why those names are better classed as propaganda than truly descriptive. Drawing on strong theological reflection, the history of U.S. reproductive rights, and basic grade-school logic, Kelley and Terry take listeners through the break-up we all knew was coming as the anti-abortion rhetoric starts to not make sense even to its own practitioners.

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast… In today's landscape of fundraising, where pressure and performance often obscure purpose, value alignment is more crucial than ever. Restorative philanthropy, embedded in authenticity, mutual respect, and shared purposes, can transform donor relationships and support healthier, more sustainable practices. Rather than centering persuasion, fundraisers can focus on clarity and connection and build trust through honest conversations. This approach not only boosts the impact but also protects fundraisers against burnout, allowing organizations to invest in relationships that truly reflect their values.  Tanya Rumble is an inclusive fundraising and restorative philanthropy thought leader, award-winning executive director of development, facilitator, researcher, writer, and speaker. Tanya possesses nearly 15 years of experience in leading high-performing teams to raise millions for respected institutions and was recognized as one of Canada's top 100 most powerful women in 2023. She currently works as the executive director of development for University-Wide Initiatives at TMU.
