OSS Professional Networking Groups
For the last few years, the Office of School Safety has facilitated informal meetings for any school staff who oversee either threat assessments, suicide prevention and intervention, and/or the management of students with problematic sexual behaviors. The addition of the Crisis Response Unit provided a networking opportunity in that discipline as well.
