What is School Crisis Response Certificate Course?
Our School Crisis Response course was developed in collaboration with leading trauma organization the National Center for Crisis Management and American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress with Dr. Brad Lindell. It is a standalone course and one of the Special Trauma Course.
School and school boards have a huge responsibility in handling the aftermath of crisis within and beyond the borders of the classroom. With this huge task weighing on their shoulders comprehensive school crisis response plans must be developed. Plans typically focus on the structure of crisis response—in the aftermath of a tragedy, along with strategies and interventions to address the needs of students, families, communities and staff. For example, they address such issues as: who will serve as members of a school crisis response team? What are the specific roles of team members? How will information be shared with the school family? And, what shall we do to help?
Structured plans are developed and implemented by school districts, but may not fully address the important element of school crisis response. For example, once students have been assembled in a lounge, library or other venue, what is done to help them? What is the goal of early intervention? Who is truly prepared to address emergent psychological needs?
Our School Crisis Response Certificate course answers these growing questions and more in an online, self-paced, byte-sized manner.
