Many schools utilize PSI’s Crisis Intervention Team in times of distress . As part of the complimentary services to our client schools, PSI provides this additional support to assist schools in coping with the wide variety of crises they may face . In coordination with school staff and administration, our team is trained to work with students, teachers, families and staff in these difficult times . Some examples of potential crises would be the death of a teacher or student from illness, accidents, suicide or violence .
