Hello! My name is Abdul Issa and I am a co-principal at APEX Academy middle and high school. I have been a restorative practices/justice/circles trainer and practitioner for a decade. I am deeply involved in trauma-informed practices. I have learned a good amount of holistic modalities such as Breathwork and am a current student in Dr. Peter Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing Practitioner program. My goal is to research trauma-informed and restorative practice interventions as part of a robust MTSS in a doctoral program. I would love to connect on social media, my Facebook is my full name (Abdul-Rehman Mohammed Issa), via phone 562-233-5588 or email (aissa@apexacademyhs.info).
