The Community Meeting Guide

Create a Daily Practice of Connection, Safety & Support

If your team is struggling with stress, disconnection, or low morale, change doesn't have to start with a massive overhaul.

It can start with one powerful ritual.

Community Meetings are a trauma-informed, evidence-based practice that takes just a few minutes — but creates deep, lasting cultural impact. Rooted in the Sanctuary Model, this method helps teams regulate, reflect, and reconnect — together.

In This Guide, You’ll Learn:

✔️ The purpose and research behind the 3 community meeting questions

✔️ How to facilitate meetings that feel safe, inclusive, and authentic

✔️ Best practices for consistency, engagement, and emotional safety

✔️ Common implementation pitfalls and how to avoid them

✔️ How to activate executive function and shared responsibility through simple daily check-ins

Whether you’re leading a trauma-informed initiative or simply looking to improve daily team dynamics,

 this guide gives you a structure that works — without requiring more meetings, more training, or more stress.
