CASS: Creating a Safe School™ Consulting Services are short-term and long-term consultations that meet the specific needs of your school, school district or community organization. This service empowers leaders to examine the conditions that contribute to the social climate. It also guides them through construction of an action plan that increases the social and emotional safety of the children, as well as the adults in the community.

  • Developing a policy on relational aggression in your organization, school, after-school program, or camp
  • Planning a strategy for building awareness about relational aggression and the social climates in your school or organization
  • Designing Mentor Programs where older students work with younger students and serve as positive role models
  • Developing a systemic, long-term plan to engage your community in creating safe social climates
