Community Meeting Facilitation Toolkit

A trauma-informed, human-centered toolkit for leading meetings in real-world settings

When "Check-Ins" Aren't Enough

If you've ever walked into a meeting knowing the room was stressed, disconnected, or barely holding it together—and felt like you had no reliable way to ground people before diving into the work—you're not alone.

Community Meetings aren't about fixing feelings or forcing participation. They're about creating a predictable, respectful structure that supports regulation, agency, and connection. When done consistently, they become a cultural ritual that strengthens safety and readiness without adding hours to your week.

This toolkit gives you everything you need to run Community Meetings with confidence, adapt them to your context, and build the facilitation skills that make them work.

And here’s the best part: this toolkit is only $29!
