Attendees will gain insights into the significance of receiving training on executing multi-tiered crisis interventions and supports. It is essential to recognize that school crisis response differs from community crisis response. Dealing with large-scale events cannot be solely resolved through individual therapy, as not everyone requires the same extent of assistance. The crucial step of performing psychological triage will be highlighted. A comprehensive overview will follow, detailing the range of multi-tiered interventions and supports accessible to school mental health practitioners (and collaborative community mental health stakeholders) based on the NASP PREPaRE Model (PREPaRE WS2: Mental Health Crisis Interventions: Responding to an Acute Traumatic Stressor in Schools, available at https://www.nasponline.org/professional-development/prepare-training-curriculum).
