C3 Pathways School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management
February 20, 2023
The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s programs for crisis response and post-crisis reunification are used in more than 30,000 schools, districts, agencies and organizations around the world. We partner with The "I Love U Guys" Foundation to combine their research-based best practices — created by school administrators, psychologists, public space safety experts and families — with our decades of first-hand experience as first responders.
Together, with their team, we’ve created a life-saving curriculum to provide a hands-on training approach to School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management, better known as the SSAVEIM Program. SSAVIEM) is an 8-hour course designed to improve incident management and response integration of school personnel and emergency responders to violent events in schools.
The course provides a model framework for use by school personnel, law enforcement, fire, and EMS to improve time to threat neutralization, medical intervention, survivability of victims, and reunification of students with parents. As part of the SSAVEIM Program, your personnel will gain access to a revolutionary tabletop training tool that utilizes uniquely crafted, accurate scale, collapsible environment boards which provide a global view by all training participants. The system includes staging and command boards to develop those critical functions and poker-style resource chips that represent school staff, students, equipment, vehicles and various response personnel.
