title: Developing schools' capacities to respond to community crisis: the Tennessee initiative.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The development and implementation of a statewide initiative addressing mental health issues within schools postcrisis.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The potential for a community crisis occurs every day. After a crisis, schools are practical, logical, and effective places to help students recover from a tragedy. If crisis-related trauma is not addressed adequately, it can impact academic outcomes such as reading achievement, grade point average, and overall academic performance. For these reasons, it is imperative that school administrators support students in the aftermath of a crisis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This ongoing project continues in an effort to support students, faculty, and staff after a traumatic event within the Tennessee public school system.
