The Crisis Response Team (CRT) assists with restoring a school community to baseline functioning, in order to assist schools to return to normal routines as quickly and calmly as possible following a major disruption of the educational process. This may include deploying SFDPH clinicians and/or Central School Social Workers to provide direct services at school sites and/or supporting linkage to community resources as needed based on the assessed need. For individual student crisis support, please consult your School Social Worker or Wellness Coordinator.
