PREPaRE Workshop 1
Crisis Prevention and Preparedness: Comprehensive School Safety Planning

 

This one-day workshop provides school-based mental health professionals, administrators, security professionals, and other educators the knowledge and resources to help them establish and sustain comprehensive school safety and crisis prevention and preparedness efforts. 

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;
  • the steps involved in developing these teams, including a model that integrates school personnel and community provider roles; and
  • how to prepare for school crises by developing, exercising and evaluating safety and crisis plans.

PREPaRE Workshop 2
Crisis Intervention and Recovery: The Roles of School-Based Mental Health Professionals

 

This two-day workshop provides school-based mental health professionals and other school crisis intervention team members with the knowledge necessary to meet the mental health needs of students and staff following a school-associated crisis event. 

With updated research and crisis intervention strategies, this workshop will:

  • teach participants how to prevent and prepare for psychological trauma;
  • help to reaffirm both the physical health of members of the school community and students' perceptions that they are safe and secure;
  • evaluate the degree of psychological trauma;
  • respond to the psychological needs of members of the school community; and
  • examine the effectiveness of school crisis intervention and recovery efforts.

This workshop is an excellent course for all mental health professionals in your district who provide mental health crisis intervention services. Completion of PREPaRE Workshop 1 is not required prior to taking Workshop 2.
