Training & Services: Other Services

Community Matters provides an array of services related to - and in support of - the Safe School Ambassadors program. Some of these include:

Presentations to community, District, County, or State-level groups working to improve student behavior, school safety, and school climate.

Keynotes and Workshops offered at state, regional, and national conferences of educators, administrators, school safety professionals, school board members, and others.

Trainings for Staff that are often designed to help school staff members:

• develop effective responses to the bullying, insults, and other mistreatment they DO see, and
• build effective working relationships with young people

Topics ­ for presentations, keynotes, workshops, and trainings ­ might include:

• Students as First Responders - strategies for engaging, empowering, and equipping youth to improve school climate
• Eight Keys Safer Schools - outlines the parts of a comprehensive approach to school safety planning based on youth development principles; can be conducted as a strategic planning session for schools and or districts
• Relational Skills Training - helping Campus Supervisors, School Resource Officers and other law enforcement or security personnel who have contact with youth develop the skills to build effective working relationships with them
• Bullies and their Parents - strategies to help teachers understand and help them

Others topics are always in development, and we frequently create sessions to meet a specific need, so if you have an idea or need, please contact us.
