The increase of critical incidents (violence, suicide, tragedy, etc.) requires schools, communities and organizations to be prepared to respond to these unfortunate events. This training will focus on how to organize effectively and quickly at a time of high stress so that groups are better prepared to respond to the emotional needs of those affected by a critical incident.

A key component of the training is the review of a Crisis Response Checklist, which is an important tool when managing the complexities of a critical incident.  Participants will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of how to implement their own crisis response team and plan for their specific environment. .
