My Story
Geri Parscale
Geri has worked within education for 38 years, earning titles from Teacher to Principal and Director of Professional Development to Deputy Superintendent. She has spent her time supporting and helping children, and now, with an additional 18 years of being an educational consultant, she has found herself working with the adults who lead our students.
Throughout her years in education, Geri has seen the amazing successes that our schools have earned. However, she has also seen the lack of preparedness that many schools and teachers have regarding their students’ physical, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Geri understands that for the mental well-being of our students, schools need to focus as much on their mental health and trauma responses as they do on their academic aid.
Geri has dedicated herself to providing the resources and tools our schools need in order to implement a strong trauma response system in their classrooms.

She Has Lived It
In addition to viewing the unprepared nature of schools from a position within the district, Geri has lived it through her own son’s experiences. Geri saw firsthand that schools and their teachers did not have the resources, tools, or know-how to help students who were going through traumas and crises. Being the parent to a son with a terminal disease, Geri not only became his biggest supporter at home but also in school, helping him balance the stress and needs that come with both education and health.
Throughout this time, she created her own resources and tools to support her son and ensure he received the best help possible in all areas of his life. She helped him navigate his education and well-being, paving the way to help other students who needed similar support during school hours.
Her son showed her that so many others needed this same support, and now she provides the education and means for schools and teachers to provide the proper aid to students everywhere.
