WHY THIS MATTERS
When violence or heavy news hits, our systems go into survival mode — and then nothing gets fixed. This toolkit helps you regulate your nervous system, protect your attention, reconnect with people (not fight them), and take one clear, practical civic action that actually moves the needle on school safety and community mental health. It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s free because steady action matters more than outrage.
