RAVE REVIEWS
"I would like to send my thanks to CMI and Cheri Lovre for training in Incident/Crisis Management in the Fall, 2009. When a student unexpectedly died, we immediately activated our District’s Flight Team. We made it through the day remarkably well, and I feel that without the training, this would have been a chaotic mess for us. This planning allowed us to go through the day with ease. Words cannot express my thanks.
Thanks CMI…and THANKS (that’s a huge thanks) to Cheri for all your dedication and hard work."
--Mr. Curtis L. Dimmick

Regaining Balance: Leading Your School Through Loss
Every school is vulnerable to local tragedies that don't make the national news, but still devastate a school community: the death of a beloved teacher from cancer, a child abducted over the weekend, or a drunken-driving accident that claims the lives of several students.
Regaining Balance shows administrators, teachers, and staff how to create a systematic, caring response that supports the most vulnerable students, builds community relations, and allows the school to return to academics and a "new normal" more quickly. Over time staff gain confidence and much-needed practice facing challenging events.
The author offers practical, step-by-step suggestions for each stage of the response, including visiting grieving parents, dealing with student suicide, and helping children cope with death and grief. It includes a CD, as well as a tabbed at-a-glance section of invaluable reproducible checklists and handouts.

 Crisis Training Set When CMI provides district or regional training, we encourage participants to purchase the Crisis Training Set. This is also a terrific resource for instructors and professors in colleges of education to use as a basis for classes that address crisis response, at-risk youth, school climate, violence prevention or related issues.

 Training Manual The Training Manual was originally sold only to participants in five-day crisis team trainings offered by CMI and is highly recommended for participants in the Facilitator Training. Each chapter covers a different content area, and some chapters have exercises designed to help participants become more aware of their own unfinished grieving from past experiences. This allows them to be able to predict what kinds of crisis situations may be difficult once they're responding in the school setting.
