Hear from Past Participants

SST always does a phenomenal job identifying the needs of our schools and what we need to stay current and up-to-date on. I appreciate knowing that SST has student safety and our schools' best interest in mind.

Safer Schools Together gave resources and scenarios that expanded my knowledge of safety in schools. The presenters shared their experiences and tools in a way we can understand and immediately take to our own schools.

Our district greatly values the support of Safer Schools Together, including training, worrisome behavior reports, intake work, and generally being there if we have any questions or concerns.

Safer Schools Together training is vital when it comes to the evolution of children in schools. I hope that teachers, administration, parents, and officers get this training as much as possible.

This class was great. It gave me valuable information to use in my profession as a School Resource Officer. Instructor was very knowledgeable!

Very good Information! Presenters were very knowledgeable on the subject.

The training was very valuable an up to date. Social media trends change so often so this training was great for staff who may not be on all the social media sites.

Safer Schools Together always does a great job of putting together current information in an interesting and easy to follow way. Every training I have attended has increased my knowledge of the threat assessment process, which helps keep my students safe.

Safer Schools Together blew me away with how integrated they are with their community partners and how impactful they have been within our cities.

I have participated in numerous training sessions offered by SST and find them very informative and practical. I use many of the tools in my job to help support students, staff, and families.
