constant attention on serving others today while designing for tomorrow.
Bridging to Resilience
The B2R conference brings together educators, social workers, health care professionals, faith communities, and other professionals to share conversations, strategies, tools, and connections that build resilience in our classrooms and communities.
Weβll explore both the science and the practice of increasing safety, dignity, belonging, and accountability in schools and communities.
We want you in the conversation!
