School shootings, suicides, COVID-19 — these are just a few of the recent incidents on the rise that impact school communities and weigh heavily on the staff who suddenly become the caregivers. The lasting impact of these events is huge and we need to do more to ensure the well-being of our school personnel — those who are entrusted to educate, lead and maintain the safety of the children while in their care. Their jobs become even more difficult and challenging during a crisis, especially if they're asked to manage scenarios that are well out of the norm while remaining calm and leading others. It's imperative that we care for and support these folks before, during and after a crisis.
