San Gabriel Unified developed a District Response Team when schools reopened after the COVID school closures. The team consists of a CWA counselor, 2 Wellness Counselors, the School Based Mental Health coordinator, and the District Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The team has a wide range of situations that it responds to and ways that it supports site staff. These include: coordinating and providing mental health support after significantly negative school events, training relevant staff in the CSTAG threat assessment protocol, and coordinate Tier 3 interventions for intensive student situations. Members also participate in the District Safety and Emergency Committee to include postvention strategies into crisis response. This presentation will share how the team functions and is deployed and will give concrete examples of cases where team members partnered with schools in their responses to negative school events.
