This panel webinar features researchers and practitioners sharing lessons learned from evaluating lockdown drills. The panel answers questions and shares best practices for conducting trauma-informed lockdown drills and discusses how they fit into a comprehensive school safety approach.

This webinar is a companion to and continuation of our previously released self-paced training on lockdown drills.

Educators and their students need strong compassion resilience skills to balance the stress and trauma they may experience in their lives. These skills include the ability to maintain physical, emotional, and mental well-being while responding compassionately to one another’s needs.

Launched earlier this year, the Trauma-Informed, Resilience-Oriented Schools Toolkit provides tools for building an understanding of trauma and encouraging a shift in how educators view students and their experiences.

In this webinar, presenters from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing share an overview of the toolkit, common elements in each section, and describe who can benefit from using it.
