PREPaRE Workshop 2, Third Edition
Mental Health Crisis Interventions: Responding to an Acute Traumatic Stressor in Schools

The third edition of this PREPaRE workshop develops the knowledge and skill required to provide immediate mental health crisis interventions to the students, staff, and school community members who have been simultaneously exposed to an acute traumatic stressor. The knowledge and skill developed within this session also helps to build a bridge to the psychotherapeutic and trauma informed mental health response sometimes required to address challenges associated with trauma exposure.


PREPaRE Workshop 2 is appropriate for any individual filling the role of crisis intervention specialist. This includes school mental health staff (school psychologists, social workers, counselors and nurses), administrators, and other individuals whom the team has identified as appropriate providers of psychological first aid. Additionally, this workshop can be very helpful for community-based mental health practitioners who may work with the school crisis team and/or may be brought in to the school assist in response to a crisis.


This workshop will help participants:

  1. Report reduced anxiety and fear associated with the provision of school mental health crisis interventions;
  2. Report increased knowledge and confidence associated with the provision of school mental health crisis interventions;
  3. Identify variables that help to estimate the number of individuals traumatized by a crisis;
  4. Recognize the difference between common crisis reactions and mental illness;
  5. Identify the elements of school crisis preparedness specified by the PREPaRE acronym;
  6. Recognize risk factors that predict psychological trauma;
  7. Identify the warning signs that indicate psychological trauma;
  8. Place PREPaRE mental health crisis interventions on a multi-tiered continuum ranging from least to most restrictive; and
  9. Match the degree of psychological trauma risk to the appropriate school crisis interventions.
