As another school year begins, I want to take a moment to welcome you back on behalf of our entire Safe and Sound Schools team.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Stephanie Grant as an exclusive member of the Safe and Sound Speakers Bureau! Dr. Grant brings over 20 years of experience in developmental psychology, counseling, and trauma-informed caregiving. Focused on attachment, neurodevelopment, and foster/adoptive family support, Dr. Grant is dedicated to educating and equipping caregivers, clinicians, and educators working with children impacted by trauma. 

We are honored to share that Lisa Hamp, a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting, has become an exclusive member of the Safe and Sound Speakers Bureau. For those who may not be familiar, Bright Futures is a signature program of Safe and Sound Schools.

As part of our ongoing mission to support school crisis prevention, response, and recovery, we're committed to keeping our community informed, engaged, and supported with the latest resources for comprehensive school safety. 

In this episode of The Sound Off, Michele Gay and Michelle Denault explore the systematic ways grooming is perpetuated.
