RAVE REVIEWS
"Anyone interested in the current challenges facing our schools and communities in regards to safety needs to listen to what Cheri has to say. She has been involved in the aftermath of both Columbine and 9/11. After listening to what she had to say I can understand why she is called upon when disaster strikes." --Tony Arasi More from our clients

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 reproducibles, checklists, and handouts.
