We met Guy Stephens, founder of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint, at the trauma-responsive schools conference back in February. Our Director of Behavioral Health & Wellness, Claire Cronin, spoke with him about Chase House, TGTHR’s residential program, and the importance of our no-touch policies in place with youth. This includes hugs, which can sometimes be seen as controversial.
He asked Claire if she would guest write a blog and appear on their podcast and she jumped at the opportunity to share about our programming & the positive impact we are having here in Boulder, CO!
