Support Team Peace

As students and educators grapple with the increasing pressures from the State and from their districts to increase test scores and implement more academic programs, while also living, working and learning amidst the aftermath of a global pandemic, the needs for emotional support, a sense of safety in the classroom, and prosocial skills are greater than ever.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

We know from brain science that if a child does not feel emotionally safe, does not feel connected, or is dealing with a lot of stress, they cannot thrive academically. Their underdeveloped brains cannot function optimally without addressing the underlying issues & symptoms of stress, whether that stress comes from home or from school.

Support our students and educators

Team Peace offers solutions with the end goal being that students can feel safe & find peace at school, which will lead to higher academic performance. In order to continue our work to help support students and educators we need your help.

In addition, expanding our training and community support for educators, developing curriculum resources, and increasing outreach to schools will enable us to substantially increase the number of students we are able to serve in the years to come, resulting in improved student mental health and well-being in schools nationwide. Join us on the journey with a gift today!

What are people saying?

“Kara Schmidt and Team Peace have been coming to our school bi-weekly to do yoga, bal-a-vis-x and mindfulness lessons for a year and a half. It has been amazing to see how the students who have regularly attended are growing in both their physical skills and their mental health!”

"We are looking forward to the continued support of Kara Schmidt and Team Peace to help our students with the big emotions and anxiety that many of our students experience due to childhood trauma and adverse living conditions. With the help of Team Peace, we hope to build healthier, happier students who can learn to thrive in challenging situations.”

"The curriculum Kara Schmidt, the director, implements delves into the six developmental learning domains: cognitive, language, academics, social, physical, and emotional. Students are taught self-awareness and self-regulation skills through teamwork and cooperation with pre-and post-tests to determine growth."

"The Team Peace program improves health, vitality, body awareness, balance, and coordination. Moreover, the program fosters self-esteem, cultivates self-awareness, educates the whole child, provides focus, encourages acceptance of differences, teaches stress-management techniques, and creates positive peer interactions. Our elementary school has implemented this program for five years."

"This trauma-informed program has an astounding effect on Throop Elementary students. Every year, the program evolves, and more students' lives are changed forever. This program must continue to ensure little learners develop the necessary skills to be successful in today's world.”
