The package may be accessed here.
The package contains multiple materials including administrator guidance, online learning modules for school faculty and staff, a response team planning guide and trauma sensitivity training. Additionally, the package includes a school leader area with resources for Title IX coordinators, for working with law enforcement and for learning about trauma and bias.
Further, numerous handouts are provided for faculty and staff, which outline what to do in specific situations. The worksheets are designed to guide staff examining the school environment and developing self-care habits. If you have any questions or concerns about the content, please let me know.

Do you talk to your students about what they post and access online and the long-lasting repercussions that can occur as a result?
It’s almost time to welcome students back! We hope you had a restful, relaxing summer and are ready to get back to all of the students anxiously awaiting your return!
