Heart Core Consulting partners with school communities and school-based health professionals to create more trauma-informed, racially just, safe and supportive school environments.

Their professional development and consultation draws upon the HEARTS (Healthy Environments and Response to Trauma in Schools) framework, developed by Dr. Joyce Dorado. HEARTS is a whole-school prevention and intervention approach that addresses trauma and chronic stress at the student, staff, caregiver, and school organizational levels. HEARTS is guided by six core trauma-informed principles that are grounded in extensive research on trauma-interventions and trauma-informed systems, modified for educational settings. HEARTS builds the capacity of school leadership and staff to integrate the HEARTS principles into school-wide practices, procedures, and policies through a distributed learning model of ongoing professional development training and consultation.
