Preparedness Resources

ERIC

ERIC is a partnership of voluntary sector agencies coming together to provide guidance and an in-person first responder service to Jewish schools after a student suicide or sudden traumatic death. The consortium is coordinated by Jami (we also brought the consortium together) and is comprised of Norwood, CST, JBCS, Grief Encounter and in partnership with PaJeS.

We have published the following resources:

• Coping After Suicide or Sudden Traumatic Death: A Guide for Jewish Schools
• Coping After Suicide or Sudden Traumatic Death: A Guide for Schools
• ERIC Essential Checklist for Jewish Schools
• Helpful Conversations for Parents and Carers

Schools can also benefit from our one-hour online, CPD accredited briefing sessions dealing with suicide and sudden traumatic death and the impact of trauma on our school communities. These sessions accompany our Coping After Suicide or Sudden Traumatic Death: A Guide for Schools to help schools put in place best practice. All sessions will be 5-6pm on Zoom.

Please see below for dates of sessions and bookings. If you’d like to arrange a one-hour briefing session for a group of staff at your school, please email education@jamiuk.org

Critical Incidents

Jami has also created resources to help your school prepare for a critical incident and consider how to provide support in the aftermath including guidance on holding age-appropriate conversations with children and young people.
