our services

Youth programs are being asked to support kids with increasingly complex behavioral, emotional, and learning needs — often with limited training and support. Staff are dealing with more dysregulation, conflict, aggression and shutdowns, than ever before.

We will help your afterschool program, summer programs, schools, and nonprofits create calmer, safer, more connected environments where both staff and kids thrive. Your team will build the skills, systems, and confidence to support kids with disabilities and big behaviors in real-world settings.

The Village Well gave our team the gifts of confidence and hope. Staff who felt defeated now feel capable and supported. We’ve seen stronger relationships, fewer power struggles, and more kids with disabilities truly included in our program.

Program Improvement Projects

Our innovative model focuses on short improvement sprints of 2-4 weeks during which staff set a goal, implement small changes, and then assess initial success. If the change works, we go deeper. If it doesn’t, we pivot.

testimonials

I notice more about myself in the moment and am able to self-reflect and notice when I am feeling depleted. Even naming that has been helpful. Allowing myself to be human has created space for my kids to be human. The struggle against the tendency to be perfect is so real. Grateful for this course!

This was a very good course. We all think that we are either expert parents or that we don't have enough time for this. But if you want to get out of your rut and become a more mindful parent, I would highly recommend their courses.

- Jamie R.
Tremendous job Village Well team! I really appreciate what you’ve created and I gained so much. I hope I can look back years from now and know this is where my parenting journey made a breakthrough and I continue to expand as the mother I strive to be.

- Nikki T.
I learned that there are accessible tools to use to be a better parent and have a better relationship with my child. It was also comforting to know that I'm not alone. There are other parents like me who want to become better parents than the ones who raised us.

- Jennielyn D.
Over the last six weeks times during our day that used to be a battle don't feel like that any more. For example, bed time does not feel like a battle time of trying to get William down. It also helps to recognize what he is seeking so we can respond in a way that makes better sense rather than everyone getting triggered.
