Be the Go-To Resource on Crisis Training for Your Districts
Increase Each District’s Capacity
Train your districts to respond to crises with confidence. By providing common language and consistent process across your ESD, you’ll have all your schools prepared to support another effectively, even if it’s in another district. This frees you up to help plan the long-term response to any crisis.
Lead by Coordination & Mobilization
You can become the go-to for organizing each district’s training and the hub to mobilize response. This Facilitator Training will help you determine and develop the organizational option that’s best for your ESA’s region.
Become the Training Conduit for Response and Prevention
Once you’ve complete crisis response training across your ESA, continue to build your prevention, response, and postvention capacity. Our facilitators receive discounts on most of our trainings and resources so you can keep honing your tools and improving practices across your region.

Recommended Material
Crisis Resource Manual, included
The Crisis Resource Manual is your “go to” guide for critical decisions and actions on crisis day. Content which is crucial on crisis day is in the front, making for quick access and ease of use when crisis strikes. The back of the book contains material helpful in planning for crisis response.
Training Manual, $55 for attendees
We highly recommend that this be used with the Crisis Resource Manual. Each chapter covers a different content area, and some chapters have exercises designed to help participants become more aware of their own issues from past experiences.
Safe Room Book, $18
This book covers all dimensions of facilitating Safe Rooms — those nurturing spaces set aside for students who are in more profound grief following the death of a peer. Topics include philosophy, room set-up, rules and behavior management, activities and much more.
