“Nurturing, Healing Love” was the message that Scarlett Lewis found on her kitchen chalkboard shortly before her son, Jesse, was murdered in his first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

We talk about post-traumatic growth and how the program educates and encourages students to choose love over anger.
