Certify as a Flight Team Facilitator
Learn to train Flight Teams using our videos, activities and resources. You’ll master 20 different areas of focus and give attendees comprehensive guidance on how to respond and recover when crisis or tragedy strikes their school or district.
Instill Peace of Mind
Facilitators work in pairs, so you’ll need to have a co-leader take this training with you. Participants will leave this training prepared to co-lead training others in how to respond to a range of school tragedies and crises: deaths, homicides, natural disasters, and more. Cheri Lovre covers the practical aspects of response as well as the driving philosophy behind her approach. A number of organizational options (district, regional, community) will be taught so you can maximize team strength.
Help Others Prepare
Each session is taught using our videos and handous as you will use them to provide the training. Facilitators divide into small groups for activities to build skills. Using our video series, you’ll be ready to help schools and districts build an organized team and a plan of action for whatever comes their way.

Training your district’s crisis response team members is one truly amazing way to give back to your community.
Flight Team (crisis response team) members respond to and support district staff, students and their families when going through a crisis or tragedy. This course will give you the foundation to train new team members annually, be an empathic flight team leader, while also addressing any concerns you might have about the process.
