"Bringing so many voices to this collaborative project exemplifies the spirit of best practices in disaster planning for schools and communities." Lennis G.

"The compelling stories and lessons in this book draw the reader's attention to the clear and undeniable fact that trauma-based strategies will be the most effective way to help students, staff, and community recover and move through devastating critical incidents. Learning from the lessons presented in this book will most certainly allow schools to more quickly get back to the business of teaching their students the academics necessary to succeed in life, as well as strategies to help them cope with the ever changing and often chaotic life circumstances they will undoubtedly face." Nancy Buyle, MA, LPC, NBCC, LSW, school safety/student assistance consultant, Macomb Intermediate Schools, Michigan

It is extremely important that educators and community resources are trauma informed and engage trauma informed practices. The practices Dr. Steele presents come from the direct experiences of survivors and responders. This is an excellent resource for all. Margaret DeLillo-Storey, PsyD, PCC, TLC-S, certified trauma consultant/supervisor and clinical counselor for Perry Local Schools, Massillon, Ohio
