New Mental Health Emergency Preparedness for School Workforce
The Office of School Safety and The Centers for Health, Work & Environment at the CU Anschutz School of Public Health has developed a new training program based on extensive research into school emergency preparedness. Their findings revealed a significant gap: school emergency plans are often created at the district level with minimal input from teachers and staff. As a result, many school personnel feel unprepared, anxious, and uncertain about the plans, which leads to disengagement during emergency drills and a lack of confidence in their ability to respond effectively when needed.
This comprehensive training, provided by the OSS, is designed to address these challenges by empowering school staff to take an active role in emergency preparedness and contains 4 modules that can be broken into multiple time frames to meet the school/district's needs. The program fosters leadership, builds confidence, and provides the tools and knowledge needed to ensure that drills and safety measures are both practical and impactful.
