Overview. The School Crisis Recovery and Renewal (SCRR) project will support educators, school staff, and school-based clinicians to effectively implement trauma-informed crisis response, recovery, and renewal strategies. The Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS), in partnership with Trauma Transformed (T2) and leading researchers, will create curricula, training opportunities, and best-practice resources to promote long-term recovery and renewal after school crisis. Populations Served. Nationally, the SCRR Team will provide training and technical assistance (TTA) services and resources to state and local education agencies (SEAs/LEAs); district teams; school leaders; school mental health providers, support staff, and educators; community partners; and other school mental health stakeholders. Intensive consultations will be offered to a small number of districts and schools, with attention to ensuring parity across U.S. regions and promoting equitable access for schools with racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse students. As a tenet of trauma-informed recovery, the SCRR project will work with students, young adults, and families with lived experience of school-based trauma to elevate their voices and learn from their experiences. Strategies and Interventions. Our iterative approach is designed to meet the overall project aim of wide-scale dissemination, adoption, and implementation of evidence-based practices and protocols for trauma-informed crisis recovery and renewal in school settings. Working with school crisis experts, including students and families with lived experience, the SCRR Team will translate our Leading Through School Crisis Guide into a practice-oriented curriculum. We will deliver the curriculum through Regional Training Collaboratives (RTCs) of educators, youth and families, school staff, and other personnel who have been impacted by a school crisis. Integrating their recommendations, we will create a train-the-trainer curriculum and a set of national standards for school crisis recovery and renewal best practices. The SCRR project website, distance learning events, and resources will promote effective adoption and implementation at a national level. Measurable Goals and Objectives. The SCRR project will increase the availability, adoption, and implementation of evidence-based and trauma-informed crisis recovery and renewal practices. To support long-term sustainability, the SCRR will foster systems-level infrastructure, collaboration, and policy development. In support of these goals, nine SMART objectives will guide SCRR planning, delivery, and evaluation. At the universal level, SCRR resources will receive at least 10,000 views each year. At the targeted level, the project will engage at least 1,000 participants each year in onsite trainings and distance learning events. At the intensive level, the project will provide TA and consultation to at least five district teams from each of four regions (East, West, South, Midwest) each year, reaching at least 100 people per year. Total five-year proposed reach: 55,500.
