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."

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.

 Crisis Training Set When CMI provides district or regional training, we encourage participants to purchase the Crisis Training Set.

 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.
