The Warner Center is involved in outreach initiatives that lead to the development of long-term relationships and sustainable systemic reform. Outreach coordinators on the Warner Center staff are deeply involved in programs and consultation with local educators, schools, government agencies, and other organizations who work with people in all stages of life.

A recent initiative includes working with a local school district whose K-12 counselors have formed a Counselors’ Cabinet. This cabinet was created to explore and test leadership initiatives related to implementing a comprehensive, student development curriculum across the district. This ongoing consultation between the district and the Warner Center supports the evolution and implementation of a new model for school counseling, reflective of national professional standards and district priorities for student learning.

The Warner Center also collaborates with a local county initiative to develop and evaluate training modules for school health, social work, counseling and psychology personnel. A turn-key training model is used to educate all school staff to better respond to the acute and chronic needs of children who suffer loss or trauma, so as to support health and learning in schools.
