Our trainings are designed to be practical, relevant, and immediately usable in real settings. We work with you to customize the content, focus, and length of training to suit your setting and needs. Example training topics include:
- Trauma-Informed Approaches in Schools, Law Enforcement, and Juvenile Justice
Understanding how stress and trauma affect behavior, decision-making, and relationships—and how to respond in ways that support safety, accountability, and long-term change. - Restorative Practices Tier 1: Classroom Strategies for Building Relationships
Practical tools and routines that build trust, strengthen connection, and create a learning environment where students feel seen, safe, and engaged. - Restorative Practices Tier 2: Harm and Conflict Circles
Using restorative processes to address harm, repair relationships, and strengthen community through structured, guided dialogue. - Restorative Practices Tier 3: Re-Entry Processes
Supporting students or individuals returning from suspension, placement, or absence with intentional practices that rebuild trust, restore connection, and set clear expectations for success.
Technical Assistance/Support
In addition to trainings, STEP UP Texas provides support (also referred to as “technical assistance”) to implement the trauma- informed and restorative practices strategies that we teach at the trainings.
