PREPaRE Workshop #2: Crisis Intervention and Recovery:

The Roles of School-Based Mental Health Professionals (2nd Edition)
This 2-day workshop provides school-based mental health professionals and other school crisis intervention team
members with the knowledge necessary to meet the mental health needs of students and staff following a
school-associated crisis event. This workshop teaches participants how to prevent and prepare for psychological
trauma, helps to reaffirm both the physical health of members of the school community and students perceptions that
they are safe and secure, evaluates the degree of psychological trauma, responds to the psychological needs of
members of the school community, and examines the effectiveness of school crisis intervention and recovery efforts.
This workshop is HIGHLY recommended for Guidance Counsellors, Child Development Advisors, Psychologists,
Family School Liaison Workers, Learning Specialists, and all other professionals in your district who provide mental
health crisis intervention services.
The PREPaRE curriculum has been developed by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) as part of
NASPs long-term leadership in supporting and developing school crisis prevention and response capabilities at the
local level. PREPaRE is the only comprehensive curriculum developed by school-based professionals with firsthand
experience and formal training. The curriculum builds on existing personnel, resources, and programs.
