The basic course ?Crisis Management in Schools? teaches and practices the basic theories and the main practical tools for handling a large scale violent act or major catastrophe affecting a school. The recent development shows that violence in schools is not diminishing. There are threats, suicides, bullying, accidents, deaths. Schools understand that professional support is useful and ask for it. Caring for members of the school community in cases of potential traumatisation leads to questions about what can be done to prevent violence. The advanced CMiS course focusses on dealing with suicide and threats. Schools need to be prepared for these situations and school psychologists informed how to support. Participants will share their experience, discuss fundamental principles of dealing with suicide and practice meetings with concerned persons in different scenarios. Suicides always bear the danger of imitation and schools need to be aware of that. When schools are threatened by bombs or other attacks it is difficult to decide when to call the police and after the imminent danger is over how to deal with accused persons in their school. Schools in EU countries can apply for Erasmus+ funds for participants. They should have passed the basic course on crisis management in schools run by ESPCT trainers. By the end of this advanced course participants will have developed the following competences and skills: ? The ability to use higher level specialist techniques for ?crisis management? in schools. ? Knowledge of the ?warning signs? shown by people who may commit suicide. ? Knowledge of the ?warning signs? shown by people who may commit school shootings, or similar types of threatening behaviours. ? Competence and intervention skills in managing crisis situations where there is an imminent threat to life. ? Competence and intervention skills in managing suicide prevention. ? The ability to talk to people who threaten suicide or aggressive acts, and knowledge about how they can be safely, and sensitively, reintegrated back into school society. ? Information about and inclusion in networking with community agencies ( e. g., police, medical, fire) and why training with them is important ? Knowledge of the criteria for ?safe schools?, and skills in how to develop ?safe schools?, which actively promote inclusion, resilience and emotional well-being among all staff and students. Methods ? Reflect individual experiences in dealing with imminent dangers ? Scientific, theoretical basis for interventions ? Practice interventions in simulations ? Discuss and develop effective strategies ? Discuss preparing colleagues and school personnel for dealing with suicide and threats ? Share organizing and maintaining regional crisis response networks Follow-up Participants are already in touch, and they will report about intervention expertise in their countries and support each other. They might offer assistance in national training efforts and support in big tragic events at schools. Thus helpful strategies will be further developed. European dimension Unfortunately outbreaks of extreme violence in schools are observed recently more and more often in different European countries. Prevention programs should be taken into consideration. This approach will add important practical ways for improving academic achievement as well as quality of life in schools and will be a significant contribution for integration of the European countries in the educational systems. Languages of the seminar: ENGLISH/other European languages Presentations in plenary sessions are in English, simulations and exercises will be in native languages if there are enough participants of the same native language.
