The Standard Reunification Method – Reunification Exercise (SRM-REx) is an interactive, two-day training designed to equip schools, districts, and community partners with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience to plan, practice and execute a successful reunification after a crisis.
On Day 1, participants engage in focused classroom training on the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) and its key principles, roles, and operational considerations. The classroom training portion also includes a brief overview of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and explores the role of Incident Command in reunification planning and crisis management.
Then, on Day 2, the learning comes to life. Through functional reunification exercises, participants rotate through different roles, experiencing the reunification process as a part of the reunification team, as a student, and as a parent, gaining practical insight into every step of the process.
But SRM-REx isn't just about the process; it's about the people. The room is filled with voices from every corner of crisis response and recovery: school and district personnel, public safety officials, emergency managers, mental health professionals, victim advocates, and anyone involved in response and recovery.
When that mix is in the room working together, something powerful happens. Trust builds. Perspectives shift. Collaboration strengthens. And the real work begins.
Register today to train alongside your peers from across the region. And maybe bring a colleague or two. Because chances are, you'll learn something your whole team will want to put into action when you get back home.
This is one of the best trainings I have ever had as an administrator. It was real, relevant, and extremely necessary. This is what we needed.
Planning and executing a functional exercise takes some work. And, there is a little wrangling, a lot of learning, a pretty high step count, and an occasional surprise. We've done it before even if you haven't, and we can help get it done. You'll be ready to take what you've learned back home and put it into action.
To restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities.
