Session Description
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) has adopted the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) as a best practice. The Standard Reunification Method was developed by the “I Love U Guys” Foundation as a research-based best practice to reunify students with their families following a critical incident. Reunifying students with parents or guardians is a critical component of emergency response, but one that is often overlooked. The Standard Reunification Method (SRM) provides school and district safety teams with proven methods to plan, practice, and achieve a successful reunification amid what can be chaotic and stressful circumstances.
