Level 1: Introduction to Suicide Prevention

Crisis Response Planning

The increase of critical incidents (violence, suicide, tragedy, etc.) 
requires the need for schools, communities and organizations to be 
prepared to respond to these unfortunate events.  When a crisis 
occurs, there will always be people who need nurturing and support.  
This seminar will help caregivers develop and enhance their ability to 
meet the emotional needs of those affected by critical incidents.  
Participants will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of how 
to implement their own crisis response team and plan for their 
specific environment.
