A CHECKLIST FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO EVALUATE AND IMPLEMENT THE MENTAL HEALTH COMPONENT OF YOUR SCHOOL CRISIS AND EMERGENCY PLAN
The US Department of Education has published a model emergency-response and crisis-management plan for schools, which is now available at www.ed.gov/emergencyplan. Mental health issues are an important part of this plan. Based on lessons learned from schools directly affected by the tragedy and loss of September 11, 2001, the School Crisis and Intervention Unit of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network has developed this checklist for your use to assess the mental health component of your school’s Crisis and Emergency Preparedness Plan. We encourage you to use this checklist as a guide to determine how well your school is prepared to respond to the immediate and long-term psychological effects on students, their families, and staff after a crisis or disaster.
