Course Overview
In the United States, schools provide a safe and healthy learning environment for approximately 55 million children. Schools are expected to keep children safe every day, but during traumatic events, this objective becomes the primary focus of teachers, administrators, and school staff members.
Reunification occurs when children are reunited with their parents or guardians after an emergency or disastrous event at their school. In these situations, a traditional student release process is unsafe and often lacks necessary organization. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, the reunification of students with their primary caregivers is crucial for the reestablishment of social support after a traumatic event and is often the only mental health crisis intervention needed. A comprehensive emergency plan includes a reunification plan to ensure the safety of the whole school community.
This course provides educational stakeholders with a structure to develop and implement a school reunification plan.
Target Audience
School administrators, school personnel, law enforcement, school resource officers, and campus safety professionals.
