Connect with Cheyenne

Resilience Consultants provide support to teachers and school staff, and work together to build a positive school climate for high-quality teaching and enriched student learning. As your Resilience Consultant, Cheyenne is available to you for confidential conversations that will not be used for evaluation of your job performance in any way. 

Some of the ways in which our Resilience Consultants are helpful to teachers include:

  • Giving you emotional support as everyone adjusts to returning to their school community

  • Encouraging proven practices that support your personal and professional resilience

  • Sharing information and resources for increasing positive communication and strengthening connections at school

  • Brainstorming ways to respond to challenging dynamics at school

  • Facilitating social emotional learning lessons that focus on building student and classroom resilience skills

  • Observing students, as an extra set of eyes in the classroom, to help gather information on student strengths and needs for your own information, SST meetings, or parent conferences

  • Strategizing approaches to students, families, and colleagues with a focus towards improving behavior, relationships, and academic performance

  • Enhancing the social emotional practices of your classroom community with increased understanding of students’ social emotional needs

  • Engaging in strengths-based reflection, integration, and opportunity conversations with you, which is often the foundation for holding these conversations with your own students

Acknowledge Alliance is a mental health agency that promotes lifelong resilience in children and youth, and strengthens the caring capacity of the adults who influence their lives. Since 1994, Acknowledge Alliance (formerly the Cleo Eulau Center) has used the power of fostering resilience to help build positive connections between teachers and students to open the doors to learning and wellbeing. The foundation of Acknowledge Alliance started with the belief that when a child has a caring adult in their life who holds high expectations and believes in them, they can succeed despite adversities. Acknowledge Alliance serves K-8 schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, integrating resilience into all levels of learning by coaching educators, counseling at-risk youth and teaching social emotional learning lessons for the whole classroom.
