Beth Sarver, InterPlay Leader and Resilience Coordinator at the Academy for Integrated Arts in Kansas City, Missouri, is using the body wisdom practices and forms of InterPlay to deal with the behavioral challenges of children affected by trauma. She is building a recipe for a trauma sensitive Resilient School Culture that reduces the use of seclusion and restraints in behavioral interventions and that minimizes traumatic reenactments between members of school communities.
