​​The Crisis Response Network (CRN) was developed to support school communities with crisis preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. CRN’s mission is to provide pre-incident training to school and community-based personnel to build capacity to respond in a structured and effective manner.

This structured process allows school communities to achieve a healthy recovery from traumatic events. An example of a traumatic event may be the death of a student, teacher, and/or parent; or other critical incident that impacts a school community.

A network of trained crisis responders stands ready to support school communities upon request. This coordinated team employs Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) protocol to support the emotional recovery of students and staff.

Presentations provided by CRN:

• Supporting Students During Times of Crisis; Recognizing Grief and Stress Responses

• Trauma Responses; Preparing for Critical Incidents in Students Lives

• CISM: Connect & Refresh

• Crisis Response: Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Overview; A Guide for Leadership in Understanding the Ins and Outs of CISM

• Incident Lead: Start to Finish in Leading a Response

• Coping with Grief, Loss and Suicide

Additional support:
