Building a safe school environment requires a plan that protects both physical safety and emotional well-being. The PREPaRE Workshop 1: Comprehensive School Safety Planning: Prevention through Recovery (3rd Edition), a comprehensive program designed by the National Association of School Psychologists, provides educators with these essential tools. This training moves beyond basic security, teaching staff how to prevent crises, manage communication during emergencies and support long-term recovery to minimize student trauma.
Participants will gain practical skills for building resilient school communities, including how to develop effective emergency operations plans and handle family reunification. Because safety is a collective responsibility, this workshop is designed for multi-disciplinary teams, including administrators, teachers, counselors, nurses and security staff, to ensure every professional is prepared to act with confidence.
