Leadership for Safe Schools is every school and district leader’s guide to developing practical policies and carefully designed action plans to ensure that K–12 students are physically and psychologically safe, secure, and supported. With today’s students experiencing soaring rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, and suicidality—in addition to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the normalization of school shootings—school personnel desperately need multifaceted approaches that decrease violence, facilitate social connectedness, and promote emotional well-being. This book’s proactive, preventive, and responsive Three Pillar Model offers a coherent framework for creating safe and supportive schools and fostering student mental health.
Each chapter guides school leaders and administrators to implement evidence-based interventions and strategies, including:
strategies for school safety, threat assessment, suicide prevention, and anti-violence efforts
easy-to-apply improvements to school climate and culture
social supports for diverse students, including the marginalized, victimized, and at-risk
effective partnerships with families, communities, and other spheres of influence
principles from positive psychology and social-emotional learning
research-based strategies for trauma-informed care and crisis response
Whether you are a principal or superintendent; a school psychologist, counselor, or social worker; or a school resource officer, nurse, or proactive teacher, this book will be your all-in-one inspiration for fostering resilient learning environments and implementing multi-component prevention and intervention strategies to support students’ mental health.
