This definitive guide helps schools develop crisis contingency plans and train school crisis response teams. More than 100 full-page charts clarify each area of discussion and may be reproduced as overheads or copied for training sessions. During the Incident sections prepare staff to handle situations from large emergencies such as earthquakes to local and urgent problems such as suicide, terrorism, accidents, and gang violence. After the Incident sections list the signs of trauma and give staff guidelines for helping affected children. Strategies are included for team selection, community involvement, and staff burnout.
