Lockdowns are an important part of school safety and crisis preparedness. However, it is imperative that school leaders understand that the perception of safety or risk, even absent a real threat, can have a very real effect on students and staff. This workshop will teach strategies for attending to the developmental and psychological well-being of students and staff before, during, and after lockdowns. These strategies can help minimize the potential for unintended harm.

Please note the location change: This workshop will be held in the Auditorium at the Bergen County Community Services & Sheriff’s Building located at 327 East Ridgewood Ave., Paramus, NJ. For questions about registration and continuing education, please contact Kyla Smith at KylaS@CarePlusNJ.org or (201) 265-8200 ext. 5228.
