When the unthinkable happens in a school community, the headlines eventually fade, and the news trucks move on to the next story. But for the teachers, students, and families left behind, the weight of that day never disappears.
At Teachers Unify, we believe that no teacher should have to navigate the aftermath of gun violence alone. That is why a critical portion of every dollar you give goes directly toward fueling our Crisis Intervention and Support Team.
This isn't just a traditional response team. Guided by expert leadership from Dr. Michael J. Schultz, our team is composed of school shooting survivor-educators, clinicians, and counselors who understand.
Your year-end gift helps us provide:
Tailored Interventions: We work alongside administrators, teachers, school boards, and unions to co-design immediate and long-term recovery strategies.
Trauma-Informed Guidance: We provide educators with the evidence-based tools they need to rebuild safety, trust, and resilience in their classrooms.
Ongoing Support: We offer a community where teachers can connect with peers who understand their unique professional and personal challenges.
We are transforming the trauma of gun violence into systems of care and action by building the safety, trust, and resilience educators and allied professionals need to lead their communities forward. We aren’t just reacting to a crisis; we are equipping the people who keep our schools together with the specialized support they deserve.
As one of our Crisis Team members, Liesl Fressola, shared: "I am stronger because of the survivors who took time to make space for me." Your generosity creates that space.
With gratitude and hope,
Abbey Clements, Co-Founder, Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence
Teachers Unify is a grassroots movement of educators across America whose mission is to empower its constituents and supporters to demand that communities are safe from gun violence.
