Special workshops will examine latest community resources to fight teenage suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, and aggressive driving among high school and college students.

Studies presented in this one day conference impart significant findings regarding incidents of school violence, their cost to society and how they influenced local prevention, preparedness, response and recovery process.

Concurrent break-out sessions, skillfully moderated by risk communicators, will encourage extended audience participation and explore effective methods of communication, coordination and collaboration at the local level.

Break-Out Session Topics Include:

•  Alcohol and Drug Trends: Prevention and Early Intervention
•  Cyberbullying: The Real Threat to Internet Safety
•  Campus Emergency Response Team Program
•  Drills and Exercises Using Best Practices
•  Active School Shooter Tactical Response

Invitation:

In response to the nationwide alarm over youth violence in our schools, the Illinois Student Safety and Security Conference invites high school and university administrators, campus security officers, mental health professionals, emergency management experts, first responders and law enforcers, as well as other experts to meet on April 29, 2009, in Chicago. Our purpose is to create an ad hoc multi-sector crisis management consortium during the event, to be studied as a model by communities around the country. Speakers will help attendees develop effective action plans that are unique to their own communities and engage the widest range of local stakeholders to make our high schools and college campuses safe and secure -- the way learning environments really should be.

The Illinois SSSC is organized by New-Fields Exhibitions Inc., Washington, DC.
