When your school experiences a tragic event, school violence or a student or staff death due to accident, illness, or suicide. A single phone call will activate the team response. We assign an on-site Team Leader who will lead our coordinated efforts alongside your existing teams, under the designated administrator who maintains control of their building/district.
