CALLING ALL SCHOOL-BASED CRISIS TEAMS!

This three day professional development combines two trainings into one discounted bundle, offering a savings on your registration fee.  Please register for this event if you would like to attend both courses for a total of three days of crisis-based training, including the opportunity to earn 18 clock hours (12 in Equity):

Day One: April 22, 2024

Developing School Mobilization Assistance Response Teams (SMART): 

When communities encounter crises, staff and students struggle to rebound and re-engage with school life. Crisis can come in all shapes and sizes, whether it includes the death of a student or staff member, a natural disaster, destruction by fire, violence, or accidental harm.

Learn how to prepare your district for the unexpected and assemble a district-wide crisis response team. Identify how neighboring districts may work collaboratively to ensure that, even in the most challenging of times, we can work together to meet the needs of our school community and help to restore psychological safety and stability following a critical event.

Days Two and Three: May 16-17, 2024 

PREPaRE Workshop: Post-Crisis Psychological Response:

Learn how to assess the level of psychological intervention required following a crisis event and prepare your team to respond. This curriculum is designed by school psychologists (the National Association of School Psychologists, NASP) for use by district crisis response teams, whether they are already established or just getting started!

Learn how to assess the risk of psychological harm to staff and students following a crisis incident, and how to apply a triage model to providing much-needed intervention and support. This evidence-based curriculum will equip your school-based crisis teams with clarity and direction in the event of an emergency.
