Chandrai "CJ" Jackson-Saunders, M.Ed., NCSP

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Chandrai “CJ” Jackson-Saunders.

CJ is an education leader, nationally recognized school psychologist, and public servant committed to strengthening schools, supporting students and families, and advancing a Prevention Over Trauma approach to student and community well-being.

This channel features conversations, community engagement, educational resources, public-service updates, and perspectives on the issues affecting students, educators, families, and communities.

From Courageous Conversations with CJ Saunders to discussions on education, mental wellness, school safety, leadership, and civic engagement, this is a space for thoughtful dialogue, practical information, and community voices.

At the center of CJ’s work is a simple belief: we should not wait for crisis to care for children. Prevention must come before trauma.

Every voice matters. Every student matters. Strong schools help build stronger communities.
