Publisher Description:
I consider this book a must read for college administrators. To-do lists and checklists for building or improving campuses' readiness and resilience in dealing with crises can be easily constructed with the substantial information and suggestions provided through the book....In sum, [this book] is a practical guide for campus administrator to prepare their campus for the worse case scenarios of campus violence.--NACADA Journal

"An important work for college and university leaders struggling with the complex issues of violence prevention, emergency preparedness, critical incident response and community recovery and healing. Although written from a student affairs perspective, it contains powerful lessons for all campus administrators [and] should be mandatory reading for everyone at the academy involved in keeping the campus community safe!"--Steven J. Healy, Managing Partner, Margolis, Healy & Associates, and Past President, International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators

This book presents first-hand accounts and experienced counsel from professionals who have lived through a violent incident, and continue to deal with its aftermath. They cover violence, suicide prevention, and mental health promotion in an integrated way, and offer a comprehensive plan to create a campus-wide system for collecting information about students at-risk for self-harm or violence toward others.
