[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has Kindred written all over it. They drive a wedge into school communities and pretend it’ll result in healing. If any other school is considering partnering with Kindred and is reading this thread, please do not commit school, federal, or PTO dollars to this horrible organization. There is now data that proves this approach is harmful to communities. When we didn’t have the data, one could argue to give it a chance in case it is beneficial. But not now. I know of several schools that have partnered with Kindred and the organization has caused problems for most of them. Moreover, I have heard from several individuals who have met with them privately that their staff are some of the most unprofessional individuals that they have ever encountered. Just walk away from the conversation/negotiations, or end the partnership if you’ve started with them. It’s not worth the money.[/quote]

Thanks for posting. Also interested at the data.

- at another school that has used these groups, probably because of kindred[/quote]

A quick Google search brings up several hits, some of which note the underlying data. (There are also many related studies that inform the common sense idea that this approach won’t work. Those are not included below, but another Google Search can locate those pretty quickly.):
