Lesley Institute for Trauma Sensitivity

The mission of the Lesley Institute for Trauma Sensitivity (LIFTS) is to help schools deepen their understanding of childhood trauma and to introduce practices that significantly lessen its impact, so that all children can learn and thrive.

LIFTS advances its work by offering graduate-level courses to educators, school administrators, and other professionals who are concerned about childhood trauma. They also provide executive coaching to leaders and administrators of school districts, individual schools, and child-focused organizations. Learn more about our courses and coaching.
