The time for action is now…let’s work together to protect our most vulnerable kids.
DONATE NOW
We are passionate about ensuring that kids with concerning behaviors receive compassion and effective help. Your donation will help in so many ways:
-
Increase public awareness of the price we all pay for the use of punitive, exclusionary disciplinary practices.
-
Provide free resources and training in the evidence-based, trauma-informed, Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model to educators, parents, and staff in treatment facilities.
-
Support policy change at the state and federal levels for bills that can help end the punitive, exclusionary disciplinary that fuel the school-to-prison pipeline.
Lives in the Balance has never partnered with the restraint/crisis management industry, and never will.
If you’d consider donating on a monthly basis — what we call our Sustaining Donors — we’ll make sure you’re appraised of our planned initiatives and get advance notice of our media materials and resources. Just indicate that you’d like to make monthly donations after you click on an amount. We also accept stock donations.
And if you’d like to have a personal conversation about how you can support our efforts, we’d be delighted to talk to you. Please contact Liz Rudman, Executive Director, at liz@livesinthebalance.org.
We are fortunate to count among our supporters the music group, The Wailin’ Jennys — Ruth Moody, Heather Masse, and Nicky Mehta — whose hearts are as amazing as their harmonies.
