Description

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services has adopted the Standard Reunification Method (SRM).  The Standard Reunification Method was developed by The “I Love U Guys” Foundation as a research-based best practice to respond to critical incidents. The statewide adoption of SRM provides a framework and process to reunify students with their parents/guardians in a safe, efficient, and organized manner following a crisis event. 

This training session will provide participants an opportunity to hear from John Michael Keys, the Executive Director and founder of The “I Love U Guys,” shares his family’s tragedy that led to the development of SRM.
