Review:

"School violence is a part of our lives and being prepared is key to surviving. Judy Brunner and Dennis Lewis have provided excellent materials in this training video for educators to understand, observe and respond to threats, and attempt to handle the unthinkable in their schools. We always hope these threats of violence never happen to us. Being intentional and knowing we haven’t waited until they do makes this product an absolute essential for practitioners to have in their toolbox." Author: Matt Hudson, Dean of Technical Education
