Intervention With Child Victims of Trauma in the School Setting (IN: Handbook of Post-Traumatic Therapy, edited by M B Williams & J F Sommer)

Working with the example of a fourth-grade teacher killed in a car accident, this chapter discusses intervention by a school-based crisis response team. Topics discussed under intervention include: establishing a school-based crisis response team, group meetings or assemblies, & small group intervention. 12 principles which are central to a post-traumatic counselling approach in the school setting are listed.
