Diverse Perspectives on Student Safety Needs: Considerations for Safe Routes to School Practitioners

In this webinar, we explore variations on the theme of safety as it relates to students returning to in-person learning. You will hear from a select panel of program specialists, all of whom are invested in keeping young people emotionally and physically safe as many return to in-person instruction after a period of prolonged challenge and uncertainty due to the covid-19 pandemic and its impacts on typical student life. Learn how and why trauma-informed approaches may be used in the development of student-focused programming; gain understanding of California’s Safe Schools Hub and the state’s ongoing efforts as schools return to in-person instruction; and examine strategies for how law enforcement organizations can support pedestrian and bicyclist safety in collaboration with other Safe Routes to School and active transportation partners.
