Reviews"Poland and Ferguson have developed an invaluable resource that will inform and strengthen school-based crisis intervention for years to come. This book provides the perfect mix of best-practice guidance, real-life scenarios, expert reflection, ready-to-use forms, and links to additional resources. I cannot wait to include this book as part of the behavioral threat assessment and management, suicide risk assessment, and crisis response and recovery courses we teach in Southwest Iowa."--Jane King, EdS, School Psychologist and Crisis Response Co-Lead, Green Hills Area Education Agency, Council Bluffs, Iowa "This book delivers a considerable depth of content and pragmatic guidance for today's school safety and mental health practitioners. Poland and Ferguson draw on their extensive experience to illustrate key concepts and offer engaging, relatable examples of how theories play out in practice. Whether used as a manual for day-to-day reference or as part of a broader professional development program, this book is poised to make a significant impact on the field of school crisis intervention."--Michele Gay, MEd, Executive Director and Cofounder, Safe and Sound Schools; Sandy Hook parent and national school safety advocate "This book offers important information about how to respond to a wide range of crisis events in schools. From suicide to threat assessment, Poland and Ferguson share relevant, timely advice. Infused with the voices of educators and leaders in school crisis response, this is a valuable resource for educators, school leaders, and school mental health professionals who serve on crisis teams in schools."--Katie Eklund, PhD, NCSP, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison "As a seasoned school administrator who has faced many critical incidents over the years, I have learned firsthand the importance of effective crisis intervention. What sets this book apart is its comprehensive yet practical approach. It combines evidence-based strategies with real-world applications, and features actionable protocols that can be implemented immediately. All school personnel will gain increased confidence in their ability to respond effectively to crises, a clearer understanding of their roles during such events, and improved skills in supporting affected students and staff. School Crisis Intervention is more than just a book--it's an indispensable toolkit for creating safer, more responsive school environments."--Micah Hill, MEd, Superintendent, Missoula County Public Schools, Montana "Poland and Ferguson not only provide wisdom from their own specialized training and firsthand experiences, but also interweave the voices of other expert practitioners from across the nation. User-friendly checklists, worksheets, tables, and resources deliver hands-on preparedness beyond the basics for those working in an ever-changing school climate."--Traci D.
