Jerusalem Coaching Institute

In times of uncertainty, values become visible.

At the Jerusalem Coaching Institute, we believe leadership begins with regulation.
We believe connection builds resilience.
We believe communities grow stronger when families feel supported.

We are proud to highlight JCI faculty member Elana Godley, MA — Trauma-Informed Organizational & Counselling Psychologist — who created a trauma-informed guide for parents navigating sirens and shelter moments.

Her guide was inspired by a widely shared and deeply reassuring video of an IDF pilot speaking directly to children during sirens — reminding them that they are protected and not alone.

The slides we are sharing here are excerpts from her guide.

They offer:
• Practical regulation tools for parents
• Simple, steady language to use with children
• Gentle ways to restore connection after a siren

The goal is not to eliminate fear.
The goal is to increase connection, steadiness, and felt safety.

This is who we are.
This is what we train.
This is how we serve our community.

If your school, parent network, or organization would benefit from trauma-informed guidance, we are here.

You are not alone.
