We're excited to partner with the Kentucky Department of Education to support school and district teams as they strengthen trauma-informed practices across their systems. This isn't about adding one more initiative. It's about connecting the great work you're already doing and building a more intentional, sustainable approach that supports both students and staff.
During this three-session virtual cadre, we'll work together to:
✅ Align trauma-informed practices across all tiers of support
✅ Identify strengths and gaps in your current systems
✅ Collaborate with districts across the region
✅ Develop practical action steps you can take back to your district/schools
📅 Virtual Sessions (8:30-10:00 AM)

Last Friday, Dr. Holly Hibbard had the opportunity to work alongside the District Leadership and School Leadership Teams at Corbin Independent Schools as they continued strengthening their Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Together, the teams explored the incorporation of mental health and behavioral health systems through the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF)—building on the strong systems Corbin already has in place to create an even more comprehensive approach to supporting students.
One thing is clear: these teams have incredibly strong systems, but they are never satisfied with simply maintaining the status quo. They are continually asking, “How can we get even better for our students?”
We can’t wait to see the progress Corbin Independent makes throughout this school year as they continue this important work! 👏
