We can’t wait to bring him back! — Rabbi Zoe Klein, Temple Isaiah Jonathan takes complicated topics and simplifies them. His workshops provide our students and parents with actionable and accessible information that will greatly benefit them now and in the future. — Anthony Locke, Head of Upper School, Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences Go Go Speaker BIOGRAPHY Jonathan Cristall, Esq., is a veteran prosecutor for the City of Los Angeles. He is the author of the multiple award-winning book, What They Don't Teach Teens. Cristall's book—written for both teen and adult readers—and his related speaking events teach young people (and the adults who care for them) physical, digital, emotional, and legal life safety skills to better navigate the pitfalls of modern adolescence. Being a teenager has never been easy. And, in fact, it was downright difficult for Cristall as he spent his own teen years in Los Angeles, taking unnecessary risks and getting into avoidable trouble. Decades later, long after turning his life around, he recognized that his teenage children and their peers were facing new risks, expectations, and laws that simply didn't exist for previous generations of teenagers—things like understanding the ways a damaged digital footprint can alter your life; the statements or actions that may amount to sexual harassment; the potentially severe consequences of underage sexting; the point a sexual interaction "goes too far"; the safest way to handle oneself when stopped by the police; navigating the complexities of cyberbullying; and so much more. Cristall began searching for a book that would help his children better understand the "how-tos" and "how-not-tos" of coming of age today. Finding nothing, Cristall utilized his experience as a prosecutor, sexual violence prevention instructor, and a troubled teen to write the book he was seeking: What They Don't Teach Teens. His regular speaking presentations about the topics in the book provide practical guidance, thoughtful insight, and simple-to-use tips and tactics that empower tweens, teens, and young adults to make good choices now and into the future. In addition to many awards and formal recognitions for his public safety work as a prosecutor, Cristall is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal from the Los Angeles Police Commission—the highest honor bestowed on non-sworn law enforcement personnel. Other organizations from which Cristall has received distinctions include the Police Officers Association of LA County and the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. What They Don't Teach Teens is similarly laureled as a recipient of the Gold Winner award from both the IPBA Ben Franklin Awards for Best Parenting & Family Book and the NIEA Awards for Best Parenting & Family Book of 2020. Additionally, What They Don't Teach Teens won a Silver medal from Forward INDIES Awards in the Family & Relationships category. Cristall works and lives with his family in Los Angeles.

STAYING SAFE SCHOOL SAFETY RESPONSE TRAINING (TEXAS) In partnership with the Texas School Safety Center and Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT), Safe and Sound Schools developed Staying Safe, an age- and developmentally-appropriate response curriculum. Staying Safe aims to prepare students for potentially dangerous situations, instilling confidence and a sense of preparedness. Rooted in the Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) approach developed by ALERRT, Staying Safe leverages the expertise of the ALERRT Center at Texas State University, which offers the nation’s leading research-based active attack response training. CRASE was originally developed to train civilians to survive active attacks, with a primary focus on adults. The Staying Safe program adapts this expert knowledge to the needs of young people, using age-appropriate and developmentally suitable techniques. Staying Safe equips students with essential, practical, and lifelong tools that enable them to confidently handle emergencies in various settings, including schools, public places, or at home. This comprehensive, all-hazards approach to personal safety empowers young people to navigate unsafe situations effectively. This curriculum is being offered as a six-hour train-the-trainer session for all regional Education Service Centers (ESC) across Texas. STAY SAFE KIDS In partnership with Drexel University School of Education, Safe and Sound Schools is developing a curriculum to guide schools in their safety planning efforts. Utilizing developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed practices, the curriculum is designed for delivery by school staff to teach all students how to respond to situations at school and maintain their safety. The curriculum will undergo a rigorous development process through collaboration with participating schools, pilot testing, and continuous improvement over the course of three years. The project will culminate in a fully developed curriculum suitable for replication and sustainable implementation across schools. This project is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. TENNESSEE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY PROGRAM Safe and Sound Schools is grateful for longstanding partnerships with various organizations across the state of Tennessee. With the goal of implementing a comprehensive school safety framework , our collaborations with these stakeholder groups include hosting in-person and virtual school safety summits, providing training on a wide variety of topics, and working with Tennessee-based school safety experts. Recently, we were awarded a BJA grant to deliver advanced Behavioral Threat Assessment training for schools that have already completed previous training. Many of these initiatives are supported by state and federal grants. PROJECT UNITE Safe and Sound Schools partnered with the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado Boulder, the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), and the I Love U Guys Foundation, among other organizations and subject matter experts, to develop a comprehensive approach to violence prevention. The key components, or systems, of Project Unite are: Positive school culture and climate Bystander reporting and response Information sharing Behavioral threat and suicide assessment and management Project Unite provides step-by-step guidance for implementing each component using a comprehensive approach informed by federal recommendations, research, and community policing principles. Schools can adapt the implementation of these components to address their unique needs, resources, and students’ age and developmental levels. UTAH SCHOOL SAFETY SUMMIT In collaboration with the Utah School Safety Center, as well as other state and national organizations, Safe and Sound Schools designed and delivered the 2024 Utah School Safety Conference in Riverton, UT.

Focusing on a comprehensive approach to school safety, these sessions covered topics including drug/alcohol awareness, bleeding control, threat assessment, digital threat assessment, crisis communication, inclusive safety preparedness, and a debrief of national school safety incidents.
