School crisis response can no longer be delegated
solely to members of a School Crisis Response Team.
Today, crisis management is the responsibility of
all educators. This dramatically expanded publication
provides a structure and process for effectively managing
the wide spectrum of school-based crises. It is an
invaluable resource in preparation for, and during,
actual crisis situations and continues to serve as
a meaningful standard for our nation's schools.
A Practical Guide for Crisis Response in Our Schools
conveys critical information to assist schools in
responding effectively to “everyday crises” as well
as school-based disasters. It is an invaluable resource
for administrators, support personnel and faculty.
By reaching our school families early with a comprehensive
Crisis Response Plan, we can potentially prevent the
acute difficulties of today from becoming the chronic
problems of tomorrow.
A Practical Guide for Crisis Response in Our Schools
is published by The National Center for Crisis Management,
a multidisciplinary network of professionals who are
committed to the advancement of intervention for survivors
of trauma. The Center aims to identify expertise among
professionals, across disciplines, and to provide
meaningful standards for those who regularly work
with survivors. Today, the Center’s international
membership includes individuals from over 200 professions
in the health-related fields, emergency services,
criminal justice, forensics, law, business and education.
With members in every state of the United States and
over 58 foreign countries, the Center is now the largest
organization of its kind in the world. Additional
information about the Center can be obtained at http://www.nc-cm.org.
New
York State United Teachers stated that: "NYSUT
would like to see the type of training on school violence
and trauma prevention offered at Connetquot available
throughout the state."
Kids
in Crisis: Identifying
and Responding to Troubled Students
From
professional development workshops to
Superintendent's Conference days, these
on-site dynamic presentations and workships
will empower all members of the school
family with practical knowledge and skills
to identify and address the immediate
needs of troubled students. Dr. Mark Lerner,

on individuals and the school community.

school-based tragedies

be at greatest risk and know when to
refer to support staff

Being
proactive,
we can address the needs of vulnerable students
early on, keep people functioning, mitigate
ongoing emotional suffering and maintain
the educational process. All attendees will
receive a copy of A Practical Guide
for Crisis Response in Our Schools.
