RAVE REVIEWS
"Cheri arrived in New York when we needed her most. Cheri knew when to listen; who to support; and most critically how to help when there were few models for the breadth of this disaster. Her knowledge, her calm, her experience and especially the warmth that comforts all in her presence will remain with us as essential to our healing. We in Community School District Two, NYC are honored to call her a friend. [in the aftermath of 9/11 in NYC]" --Marjorie Robbins More from our clients

Regaining Balance: Leading Your School Through Loss
Every school is vulnerable to local tragedies that don't make the national news, but still devastate a school community: the death of a beloved teacher from cancer, a child abducted over the weekend, or a drunken-driving accident that claims the lives of several students.
Regaining Balance shows administrators, teachers, and staff how to create a systematic, caring response that supports the most vulnerable students, builds community relations, and allows the school to return to academics and a "new normal" more quickly. Over time staff gain confidence and much-needed practice facing challenging events.
The author offers practical, step-by-step suggestions for each stage of the response, including visiting grieving parents, dealing with student suicide, and helping children cope with death and grief. It includes a CD, as well as a tabbed at-a-glance section of invaluable reproducible checklists and handouts.
