This 1-day workshop provides school mental health professionals, administrators, security officers, and other educators knowledge and resources important to establishing and sustaining comprehensive, ongoing school safety and crisis prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. With updated research and strategies, this workshop makes a clear connection between ongoing school safety and crisis preparedness. It also will emphasize the unique needs and functions of school teams and the steps involved in developing these teams, including a model that integrates school personnel and community provider roles. Making use of existing personnel, resources, and programs, PREPaRE can be adapted to a school’s needs and size. Specific attention is given to developing, exercising and evaluating safety/crisis teams and plans, and integrating school and community crisis response personnel. Also addressed are issues associated with the media, social media, technology, students with special needs, culture, and memorials. The training reinforces improved school climate, student behavior and academic functioning, student resilience, and school staff crisis response capabilities.
Audience: School/District Crisis Team Members—Administrators, Psychologists, Counselors, School Mental Health Personnel, Teachers, School Resource Officers, & any other professionals/support staff who may be involved in safety/crisis planning and response
