Acute traumatic events have the potential to significantly disrupt the learning environment as well as the psychological functioning of students, staff, and the school community. Such events range in size and intensity, though all require careful planning to address the comprehensive safety and recovery needs of a school. Such planning includes considerations of prevention and preparedness, establishing crisis teams and crisis communications, and the selection and delivery of appropriate interventions given demonstrated need. This chapter discusses best practices in school safety planning and approaches to recovery after an incident to address crisis-generated problems, prevent trauma, and help restore the learning environment.

Indigenous children in Canada have an increased risk of developing chronic conditions compared with the general Canadian population. There is limited understanding of the design of Comprehensive School Health (CSH) interventions to support health and wellness among Métis children. Comprehensive School Health (CSH) frameworks and interventions focus on supporting whole school and classroom environments and actions to promoting holistic health and well-being for children. This paper highlights experiences of a participatory action research (PAR) project engaging Métis community members to inform the design of a Métis comprehensive school health intervention. Findings highlight the process of enacting participatory action research in a Métis community while revealing Métis community priorities to inform a comprehensive school health intervention. We demonstrate a participatory approach to integrating Métis knowledge throughout the research process. We anticipate findings will be relevant to researchers, health care professionals, and community knowledge users working collaboratively to design health promoting interventions for the health and wellbeing of other Métis communities.
