“Armand King’s message about students that go through similar or worse trauma needs to be essential at every school site and district in the country—not just San Diego. I did not do well in my K–12 years. I feel that if my teachers had had a grasp on incorporating the kind of empathy Mr. King talked about during the training, I may have gone down a brighter path much sooner.”

Robert Cross, 6th Grade ELA/ELD Teacher
