June 3rd at 6:30pm in per­son at RESMS in commons/lunchroom and on Teams

The Safe Cross­ings Pro­gram, part of Prov­i­dence at Home with Com­pas­sus, is look­ing for­ward to con­nect­ing with care­givers from Robert Eaglestaff Mid­dle School to dis­cuss ways to sup­port youth nav­i­gat­ing grief. This impor­tant train­ing, led by facil­i­ta­tor Maken­zie Muilen­burg, LMHC, will offer valu­able insights and guid­ance for care­givers. Par­tic­i­pants will gain knowl­edge on effec­tive­ly com­mu­ni­cat­ing with youth about death, under­stand­ing devel­op­men­tal grief respons­es, and iden­ti­fy­ing and under­stand­ing trau­ma symp­toms that may require spe­cial­ized sup­port.

Top­ics cov­ered will include sec­ondary loss­es, strate­gies to empow­er youth with choice and agency as they process their loss, and explo­ration of the dif­fer­ences and sim­i­lar­i­ties between adult and child­hood grief. Atten­dees will have oppor­tu­ni­ties for ques­tions to deep­en their under­stand­ing.

As a lead­ing provider of pedi­atric grief sup­port ser­vices in King Coun­ty, the Safe Cross­ings Pro­gram is ded­i­cat­ed to equip­ping care­givers with the tools they need to best sup­port bereaved youth.

We are hav­ing a closed board meet­ing (for board mem­bers only) on Mon­day, May 4th at 7pm (hybrid) with an agen­da to come.

Washington State Department of Health:

Secure Storage of Firearms and Ammunition

I’m reach­ing out to share a resource that could be real­ly valu­able for your school community—and to ask if you’d be will­ing to share this with fam­i­lies.

As a par­ent of a child with dis­abil­i­ties in Seat­tle Pub­lic Schools, I’ve seen both how hard school teams work to sup­port stu­dents and how often staff & fam­i­lies are left with­out tools that tru­ly address the root caus­es of behav­ior. That’s what drew me to Dr. Ross Greene’s work.

On May 12 (6–8pm), the Seat­tle Spe­cial Edu­ca­tion PTSA is host­ing a free webi­nar with Dr. Ross Greene on Col­lab­o­ra­tive & Proac­tive Solu­tions (CPS), co-spon­sored by Roots of Inclu­sion, All Youth Belong, The Arc of King Coun­ty, and OSPI. He’ll be dis­cussing his new book and how CPS can be applied in Seattle’s school con­text.

For PTAs, this is a chance to help fam­i­lies bet­ter under­stand the “why” behind stu­dent behav­ior and learn approach­es that reduce con­flict, improve com­mu­ni­ca­tion with schools, and sup­port more inclu­sive classrooms—benefiting all stu­dents.

Fam­i­lies and edu­ca­tors can reg­is­ter here: bit.ly/4syu3Pr
Edu­ca­tors can earn clock hours through PDEn­roller (link sent sep­a­rate­ly)

As Seat­tle Pub­lic Schools enters a new chap­ter focused on safe­ty, inclu­sion, and authen­tic fam­i­ly part­ner­ship, this is a moment to come togeth­er and explore solu­tions that actu­al­ly work for kids.

I would deeply appre­ci­ate your adding the fol­low­ing blurb/graphic into your newslet­ter to adver­tise the event. If your PTA is inter­est­ed, I’d be hap­py to con­nect to answer ques­tions.

Thank you for help­ing get this out to your com­mu­ni­ty,

Lau­ra Rose Mur­phy
