Publisher's Synopsis
The Manual provides a comprehensive compendium of information, guidelines and practical interventions to plan for, and, in the event of a crisis, intervene. Accidents, sudden loss, violence, suicide and large-scale disasters are addressed in a down-to-earth, immediately usable manner. The book is the result of the contributor's years of experience working in the field and, as a result, has a very practical bent. Strategies and activities for dealing with students, adults, crisis-team staff and community members are clearly described through-out. Included are Immediate Responses Checklists to guide immediate responses, should an actual crisis occur. The Manual is foundational for staff crisis intervention training at the individual, school, school-district and community levels.
