Greetings, Friends!
My name is Mara Giglio (Jee-lee-oh) and I’ve been the Director of the Appalachian Peace and Justice Network (APJN) since 1999. At APJN, I specialize in teaching social emotional skills to prevent bullying, violence, and sexual assault. I’ve taught seventy-five 23-lesson classes at fourteen Athens County Schools and after-school programs.
I’ve been a state-wide Bullying & Violence Prevention Trainer for the Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management. I am currently a Mediator with the Athens Area Mediation Service and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with Embodied Empowerment.
I received a B.A. from Wheaton College in Massachusetts with a focus on Peace Education. During my junior year in college and after I graduated, I traveled extensively in India, Nepal, and Tibet. I received teachings from the Dalai Lama and visited Gandhi’s ashram and Mother Theresa’s orphanages to experience nonviolence first-hand.
