Perspectives on School Crisis Response: Reflections from the Field (Hardback)

"A perfect blend of research, practical application, and personal insight; an important resource for all school mental health professionals."
Frank J. Zenere, EdS, chair, Crisis Management Program, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

"This book's firsthand accounts of how schools have responded to a variety of crisis situations make it a valuable crisis preparedness resource. Editors Roth and Fernandez are to be commended for assembling a well-respected group of school crisis response experts who, from their own crisis response experiences, provide guidance on empirically-informed school crisis response and intervention."

Stephen E. Brock, PhD, NCSP, LEP, professor and school psychology program coordinator, California State University, Sacramento

"In their introduction to Perspectives on School Crisis Response, the editors indicate that this 'is a book of stories,' including stories of sorrow, hope, and people helping others. This compelling introduction encapsulates the book's essence. When reading each chapter, it is impossible not to experience a myriad of emotions. The authors do an excellent job at highlighting their experiences, while simultaneously providing the reader with concrete recommendations on how to respond to school crises."
Jacqueline A. Brown, PhD, NCSP, assistant professor of psychology, acting director, School Psychology Graduate Training Programs, The University of Montana
