School psychologists have a unique view of a school and its student body. They recognize that threats against students can come in several shapes and sizes, including bullying, physical or sexual abuse, and mental or behavioral health issues—whether big or small, these threats all impact students in the near- and long-term and can threaten their physical safety. Psychologists are also aware that all invested parties need to work together to create a supportive community and a safe learning environment. Reaching that outcome relies on the stakeholders working together on everything from behavioral threat assessments to post-incident resilience.
