National Child Traumatic Stress Network National Center for PTSD | The field of school safety and emergency management has evolved significantly over the past decade. Tragically, acts of violence, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks have taught us many lessons. We also know that other types of ...emergencies can impact schools, including medical emergencies, transportation accidents, sports injuries, peer victimization, public health emergencies, and the sudden death of a member of the school community. We now recognize the need for school emergency management plans that are up-to-date and take an “all-hazards” approach with clear communication channels and procedures that effectively reunite parents and caregivers with students. We have also learned that preparing school administrators, teachers, and school partnering agencies before a critical event is crucial for effective response, the value of ongoing training and emergency exercises, and that having intervention models that address the public health, mental health, and psychosocial needs of students and staff is essential to a safe school environment and the resumption of learning.

Детям нужна безопасная и надежная окружающая среда, которую они могут назвать своим домом. Кроме выполнения функции жилища, дом должен служить местом физической и ...эмоциональной безопасности, где дети могут обрести комфорт и защиту. Следовательно, оптимальное развитие зависит от взаимодействия между позитивным влиянием окружающей среды и унаследованной генетической предрасположенностью, которое начинается уже в период внутриутробного развития (Shonkoff et al, 2000).
