As school professionals, it is inevitable that we will experience a crisis or tragedy that impacts our school: the death of a student or staff member, especially if the death is by suicide, is highly impactful to districts, schools, and individuals.
Similarly, while natural disasters and other emergencies are rare, the district needs to be prepared to navigate the resulting shock and/or grief
A primary goal of Crisis Response is to help schools regain stability by supporting students and staff experiencing loss, grief, or trauma, prevent additional suicide deaths, and assist school personnel as they manage the crisis aftermath.
