9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

School crises comes in all shapes and sizes. They can encompass illness, loss, health concerns, weather events, violence and death. They all have one thing in common: They impact the school community in a way that interrupts the normal functioning of the school.

Effective crisis response involves a coordinated effort from school administrators, staff, and community members to provide immediate support and long-term recovery. This collaborative series will provide the structure and support to develop/refine your school crisis response in the context of a collaborative where participants can learn from and with one another.
