A framework that goes deeper

Grounded in Lived Experience

Founded by Chip & Lisa St. Clair, whose bestselling memoir The Butterfly Garden documents a journey from profound trauma to purpose.

Backed by Neuroscience

Every practice is rooted in how trauma alters the brain — we don’t just understand behavior, we address its biological roots.

Led with Heart

A movement rooted in science, driven by story. We transform pain into purpose at every level of the system.

Healing across every system

SCBF works across the institutions that shape young lives — transforming how each one responds to stress, adversity, and behavioral challenges.
