How we support schools
When your school experiences a tragic event; school violence, school accident, or a student or staff death due to accident, illness, or suicide, a single phone call will activate the team response. We assign an on-site Team Leader who will lead our coordinated efforts alongside your existing teams, under the designated administrator who maintains control of their building/district. The designated administrator will decide which services will be implemented to assist your school and community. Team members will arrive ready to support the needs of your school.
Services May include:
- Facilitate meetings/conversations with staff
- Prepare internal and external announcements
- Establishing and staffing comfort rooms
- Assisting with security needs
- Arranging parent/community meetings
- Supporting students and staff
- Individual or group debriefing sessions
- Triage: Identify individuals who may require additional services
- Psychological First Aid
- Compassion/team fatigue: supporting adults/staff/admin/teams
- Consultation regarding rituals/remembrances, etc.
- Provide resources
- Educational opportunities for students, staff, and community
- Longitudinal planning for on-going support
