“Be the change that you wish to see in the world” — Mahatma Gandhi. The path to understanding, cooperation, and peaceful resolution starts with you. We encourage you to learn the same empathic communication skills that have transformed the lives of hundreds of teens in Leon County. Around 2010, Dr. Cindy Bigbie developed a curriculum to teach a combination of Nonviolent Communication and Restorative Practices which she calls The Bigbie Method. Her curriculum has transformed the lives of hundreds of teens and adults in our community, and for this innovative work, she has earned many awards. Her curriculum also provides the foundational philosophy and method for Connection First. She regularly offers workshops on The Bigbie Method, and we encourage you to visit her site at thebigbiemethod.com and sign up for one these transformational workshops today.
