After the Crisis: TECIP©

The Traumatic Event Crisis Intervention Plan (TECIP©), the flagship program of Crisis Oriented Planning and Educational Services, LLC., is a field tested school-based framework designed to meet the emotional and psychological needs of students and staff in the AFTERMATH of a traumatic event. Implementation of the TECIP model is designed to be initiated upon awareness of the event to support the first day back to school. For example, you are notified that a student has been killed in a car accident on Thursday evening and need to have a plan in place to meet the emotional and psychological needs of students and staff starting first thing Friday morning. The unfortunate truth is that too many schools (and districts as a whole) wait for a tragic event to occur before seeing the need of having an organized response team and a well defined plan in place. There are two main systems make up TECIP framework that will be discussed in this manual: The Management Protocol & the Intervention Strategies. By implementing the management steps and “Safety Net” of intervention strategies that are taught during the TECIP training, schools increase the chance of meeting positive outcomes by restoring adaptive functioning, identifying those in need of additional support, and returning to a sense of normalcy.
