PREPARE TO LEAD WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
This free webinar brings together:
School leadership
Understand what principals and leadership teams carry during the first hours and days—and why they should not be expected to carry the response alone.
Evidence-informed response
Explore what appropriate critical incident support looks like, including the importance of timing, psychological first aid, professional boundaries, referral and follow-up.
Thoughtful Christian care
Consider how Christian schools can remain present in suffering, create space for grief and lament, and offer prayer, community and hope without rushing to explain or minimise a person’s experience.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE
During this 50-minute guided conversation, you will consider:
- What school leaders and internal wellbeing teams may be carrying
- Why critical incident response requires specialist preparation
- What well-intentioned responses may unintentionally increase distress

- What belongs with school leaders and what requires a trained practitioner
