When tragedy strikes a school, the headlines tell one story, but the emotional aftermath tells another.

In this powerful episode of Health Over Leadership, Dr. LaStassia Williams sits down with special guest Michael Green Jr., M.Ed, whose experience spans campus leadership, restorative practices, SEL, and mental health support. Together, they unpack what it really means to lead when your school is carrying invisible wounds—grief, guilt, fear, and trauma that don’t always speak in words.

This episode dives into:

• What happens emotionally in school communities after crisis
• The importance of psychological safety and trauma-informed leadership
• How to support both victims and those who caused harm
• What real healing looks like beyond policy and protocol
• Why emotional health is central—not secondary—to effective leadership

If you’re a school leader, educator, counselor, or someone navigating the emotional weight of your community, this episode is for you.

Because the real work of leadership begins after the cameras are gone.
