Crisis Consultation

Even the most prepared schools and districts face moments when a situation unfolds unexpectedly and decisions must be made immediately. Following a training, we provide both proactive and real-time education to help school leaders navigate crises safely, effectively, and in alignment with best practices.

Crisis Education

We train administrators, school safety teams, and mental health professionals to:

  • Recognize early warning signs and escalating behaviors that may signal a crisis.

  • Understand how to stabilize a situation while protecting students, staff, and property.

  • Apply trauma-informed practices to reduce harm and support recovery.

  • Communicate clearly with staff, parents, law enforcement, and the media.

  • Integrate crisis response into existing emergency operations plans and state/federal guidelines.

In-the-Moment Crisis education

When a crisis occurs, time is critical. Following a training, we offer direct access to coaching for district leadership and school-based teams — by phone, video, or secure messaging — to support decision-making during:

  • Threats of violence or self-harm

  • Sudden behavioral escalations

  • Large-scale incidents affecting multiple students or campuses

  • High-profile events with media or community impact

  • Post-incident recovery and return-to-learning planning

We act as a trusted partner, helping your team stay calm, organized, and legally sound under pressure, while prioritizing student safety and well-being.

  • “Cora is one of the most important resources a school district can have on their team. Cora is so knowledgeable in all aspects of the Mental Health department and the needs of school campuses during times of crisis. I would highly recommend her to any school agency looking to improve their site risk/threat assessments, and ensuring their staff are prepared to respond in a crisis.”
