The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in collaboration with the Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center in partnership with the US Department of Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools (OSSS), is pleased to offer the “Resilience Strategies for Educators: Techniques for SelfCare and Peer Support (RSE) Train-the-Educator (TtE).” This on-site, day-long training is designed to assist caregivers in schools and school districts better understand resilience strategies following natural disasters, and other emergency events.
Grief, loss, and change from recurring disasters and their aftermath can leave a school community feeling anxious, confused, and insecure. The RSE TtE curriculum was developed by OSSS and the REMS TA Center in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for the purpose of serving the Gulf Coast region after exposure to the environmental, economic, and community impact of the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, as well as prior tragedies like Hurricane Katrina. As part of a comprehensive school emergency operations plan, it is important for schools and school districts to understand how to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from critical incidents, including psychological recovery. The RSE TtE is applicable for schools and districts that have experienced disasters or crises and are coping with working more effectively with students, should an emergency event occur.
School counselors and psychologists, administrators and educators, as well as their community partners, including mental health practitioners.
No PIC is awarded for this training.
