ABOUT

Who We Are
At Restoring Hearts and Healing Minds, we believe that healing starts from the inside out. Founded by educator and social worker Amber Flanigan, our mission is to help students—especially young boys—develop the emotional skills they need to succeed in school, relationships, and life. We offer trauma-informed support through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, and staff training that helps schools and agencies shift from discipline to emotional development. What makes us different is our heart-first approach: we don’t just manage behavior—we help students understand and transform it. This work is personal for us. We’re passionate about giving students a safe space to process, grow, and build the emotional resilience needed to break cycles and build brighter futures.
