Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative: Inner Spark 11/18/2026 - 11/19/2026
8:30 am - 3:30 pm
A hands-on train-the-trainer for school counselors and administrators to deliver WPDI’s Inner Spark high-school SEL curriculum. Participants learn to facilitate Inner Spark’s three modules—Understanding Me, Building Healthy Relationships, and Building Community—so students can develop resilience, manage stress and trauma, and serve as peer-to-peer mentors on their campuses. The session aligns with WPDI’s Domestic Harmonizer Program and prepares attendees to launch student leadership and peer-support efforts that complement schoolwide SEL and peer mediation initiatives.
