Almost every school has had a major crisis; every school is likely to have one. Some students react with severe emotional responses--fear, grief, post traumatic stress syndrome. Moreover, such experiences and other events that threaten their sense of worth and well-being can produce the type of intense personal turmoil that leads students to think about hurting themselves or others. If no effort is made to intervene, emotional reactions may interfere with a student's school and home performance, can be imminently life threatening, or may be the start of long-term psychosocial problems. When a significant portion of the student body is affected, major facets of a school's functioning are likely to be jeopardized. This training tutorial is designed with self-directed opportunities for more in-depth learning about the specific topic of crisis assistance and prevention. It contains resources providing easy access to a wealth of organized content and tools that can be used as a self-tutorial or as a guide in training others. The tutorial is organized topically, with readings and related activities for preparation, active learning, and follow-up. (GCP)
