2023 School Safety and Security Summit

WHERE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT BECOMES A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

School Safety is EVERYBODY’s business!  Just how safe are we on our school campus’ across America?  What can you do about it?

What do the United States Secret Service and FBI say based on their research?

 

Our communities, families, staff and students face ongoing and new challenges that impact student success. The purpose of this conference is to congregate leaders in the field of education, public policy, law enforcement, psychology and planning to expand the awareness and implementation of best practices and recommendations in school safety, security, trauma-informed services and mental/behavioral health resources. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to engage their communities in the pursuit of safer, healthier schools and neighborhoods.

 

 

 

“Every state across the country should be modeling what you are doing with this conference. It is the only conference like it in America that brings the right leaders together before the tragedy occurs.”

~ Dr. Joseph V. Erardi, former Superintendent, Newtown, CT

“One of the best I have ever attended! Scope, quality of speakers gave people a multi-faceted view of the issue. Ground breaking – Thank you!”

“Going to school to learn, feel safe and grow in a healthy environment while thriving without fear of harm should be the norm, not the exception.” 

      ~ The Honorable Paul Penzone, Maricopa County Sheriff
