Designed to guide school communities in responding to events that cause extreme stress, this module will help teachers and school leaders strengthen their own resilience and recognize signs that students are in need of mental health supports. Three units cover understanding stress reactions, identifying your place in the recovery process, self-care strategies, connecting with and supporting others, and student care, all in service of supporting resilience in your school community.

COVID-19 School Response Toolkit: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools across the country to confront unprecedented challenges. And the longer schools remain closed—likely through the end of the academic year in most states—the higher the stakes become for next school year.
