It was so freeing to learn from NCSCB that unfounded guilt and blame, almost always accompany such a loss, and that even with all of the best precautions in place, it does not guarantee against loss. After this, I saw healing begin to take place and teachers reaching out to support one another.”][/testimonial][/testimonial_slider]
