Trauma in our schools is rampant and hidden among so many of our students. Children are hurting and when children hurt educators hurt. 

Providing real Trauma-Informed Support to children is 100% about meeting their NEEDS. Discovering these needs sometimes is difficult but if educators simply begin to listen and see the students, not their behaviors, the child will tell us what they NEED. 

This is my passion to help educators truly help children.

My ultimate goal is to help assist your faculty through Peaks Solutions Professional Development workshops and/or Consultant/Mentoring Sessions transition either your District/School/Classroom into becoming truly Trauma Informed.

Peaks Solutions was formed formally in 2017. However years before Donna was mentoring and/or consulting individual educators, paras and/or administrators on the topic of ACE.

Compassion and relevance are the hallmarks of a workshop with Donna. From Public School to Alternative School to University settings, Donna has been sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience with any professional seeking a nuanced and unique perspective. Whether working with struggling, angry, & hopeless children or working with struggling, exhausted; maybe angry and hopeless educators Donna has provided effective and relevant solutions.

She has several decades of experience in numerous states and Educational environments and both attends and speaks at National Trauma Conferences. 

Donna’s insight & unique “Experienced Classroom Based” perspectives, will be an asset to your district’s next professional development day.
