CouncilMission Statement

“The Los Angeles Unified School District’s Council Practitioners Center (LAUSD CPC) aims to promote the

inclusion of council, a human relations practice of authentic expression and empathic, non-judgmental listening, into

mainstream school curricula, instructional strategies, support services, and school communities. To implement this mission we train and support school staff to integrate council into classroom and counseling practice, as well as,

faculty, parent, and community meetings.”

Intentions for Council• Listen from the heart: suspend reactions,

judgments, and preconceptions • Speak from the heart (to the degree that you

can trust in the moment) and with care and consideration for others in the circle

• Speak spontaneously and only when you have the talking piece; let go of planning

• Speak leanly: get to the heart of the matter with an awareness of time and the size of the circle
