After a school tragedy: Readiness, response, recovery & resources

This resource helps schools support students and families in the aftermath of violence and trauma by providing strategies for readiness, response, and recovery. The focus is on the after-effects of traumatic events such as school shootings or suicides and how things like complicated grief and survivors’ guilt can place students at risk for suicide. Resources are provided for preventing suicide and building resilience. The importance of cultural considerations is also discussed.
