CPS RESPONDS TO COVID-19
Partnership Solutions in a Time of Crisis
and Opportunity
A Note from Riane Eisler and the CPS team:

We at CPS hope that all of you, the members of our wonderful partnership community, are taking good care of yourselves. During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are isolating ourselves and our families. It is a time of crisis, but also of opportunity. We can use this time to reflect on our current systems and to lay foundations for a more caring and healthy society and economy.
Watch the Replay
In the March 19 webinar Trauma-Sensitive Schools: Responding to COVID-19 Riane Eisler, Mary Crnobori and Khayree Bey addressed how we can better care for our families and school communities in the coming weeks.

CPS and webinar presenters are offering a wealth of downloadable resources especially pertinent for educators, parents, and students at this time when we need to reassure our children, and ourselves, that a better future is possible. They show that we can move forward, and what we need to do so.
