The Averted School Violence (ASV) Project provides foundational evidence-based research to support efforts to stop targeted school attacks by building sustainable, community-based prevention and intervention services, education, and consultation services The AVERTED SCHOOL VIOLENCE PROJECT The Averted School Violence Program creates a data-driven approach to stopping targeted school attacks by building sustainable, community-based prevention and intervention strategies. GET TRAINING Frank Straub, PhD Senior Advisor of Violence Prevention Research WHAT IS The Averted School Violence Project? Following the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Community Oriented Policing (COPS) convened a national school safety advisory group to provide recommendations on how to prevent future school shootings and other acts of violence on school campuses. One key recommendation stood out among the others: Build a national repository of cases where school violence was stopped before it occurred. Based on these recommendations, the DOJ’s COPS Office allocated funding for the National Policing Institute (formerly the Police Foundation) to establish and maintain the Averted School Violence (ASV) database. From 2015 to 2023, the National Policing Institute built a strong foundation of research and reports that shaped school safety practices nationwide. In 2023, Dr. Frank Straub, who previously served as the founder and director of the National Policing Institute’s Center for Targeted Violence Prevention, as well as ASV’s project lead, secured a new home for the database right here with Safe and Sound Schools. The transfer, improvement in functionality, and expansion of the Averted School Violence Database was made possible through Prevent 2 Protect, a Michigan Department of Education Pilot Project. ASV and Safe and Sound, founded out of the same tragedy and on the same mission to protect every school, every student, every day, are now united to create a more powerful, data-driven tool that empowers school safety leaders to prevent tragedy before it occurs. EXPLORE THE DATABASE The Enhanced ASV Database and New Website With ASV’s move to Safe and Sound Schools, and the expanded support of partners like the Motorola Foundation and National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), we’ve enhanced the platform’s value by making it more accessible, more actionable, and more useful in the day-to-day work of preventing violence in our schools. With a new website and streamlined submission process, it’s now easier for SROs, school officials, and safety professionals to securely share cases of averted or completed violence. Additionally, we’ve added new filters and features to help users sort through cases by variables like school type, intervention type, threat source, and more. Most importantly, we’ve focused on ensuring the database isn’t just a storage tool—it’s a living resource that fuels evidence-based training and community conversations. CHECK IT OUT Take Action Join our mission to improve school safety and prevent future violence by anonymously and securely submitting an averted incident for review. SUBMIT A CASE PROGRAM PROGRAM Highlights The Averted School Violence Project helps safety leaders keep their communities safe by: Establishing a place where school personnel, law enforcement officers, mental health professionals, and others involved in school safety can share their averted school violence stories and lessons learned, in order to improve school safety and help prevent future tragedies. Providing real-life scenarios that can help guide the development of sustainable, community-based prevention and intervention strategies. Providing evidence-based research to support efforts to stop targeted school attacks by building sustainable, community-based prevention and intervention services, education, and consultation services.

The Safe and Sound Schools team of speakers, trainers, and experts. Our mission is to support school crisis prevention, response, and recovery, and to protect every school and every student, every day. EXECUTIVE TEAM Michele Gay Founder & Executive Director Mother, educator, and co-founder of Safe and Sound Schools®, Michele Gay chose to take action after losing her daughter Josephine Grace on December 14, 2012 in the Sandy Hook School tragedy. Since that time, Michele has channeled her work as an advocate, improving safety and security in schools and communities across our country. With a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Towson State University, Michele earned a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from McDaniel College. Prior to the Sandy Hook tragedy, she taught at the elementary level in the Maryland and Virginia public schools. Now a nationally and internationally recognized public speaker and school safety advocate, Michele speaks to audiences and consults with all levels of community institutions — schools; municipalities; houses of worship; educational and public safety leadership; state and federal governments; law enforcement agencies; and top news media sources. Through her work, and always with a goal of helping others increase the safety within their own communities, Michele shares her personal experiences and the lessons she has learned. The recipient of numerous national awards, Michele is a regular contributor for print, radio, and television outlets. Visionary, author, and co-author of Safe and Sound’s programs and materials, Michele has served as a stakeholder voice in national legislative discussions. Through these works, Michele continues to build Safe and Sound Schools® as a national hub of school safety education, technical assistance, expert content, and best practices. Michele’s impassioned position on school safety hinges on every community taking a comprehensive and sustainable approach to safety. She works diligently to unite stakeholders of all disciplines and perspectives. As an educator, mother, and survivor of tragedy, Michele is uniquely positioned to help others prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from tragedies of their own. Michele remains inspired by Josephine, every day. She dedicates herself to honoring Josephine’s memory through this work to ensure that every school, every child, and every community is truly safe and sound.

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. This two-day event brought together school safety staff from across the state to hear from powerful keynote speakers and engage in practical and informative breakout sessions. 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. Overall, the 2024 Utah School Safety Conference provided a valuable opportunity for K-12 leaders to learn from nationally recognized speakers and acquire best practices supporting comprehensive school safety.

Share our resources with your school community members and make a difference together! DOWNLOAD THE TOOLKIT Straight-A Safety Improvement Model Our Straight-A Safety Improvement Model is a way to rethink school safety. Our busy society loves routine check-ups, check-lists, and checkouts. They make us feel accomplished – done. This way of thinking can undermine the safety and security of our schools. School Safety is a process, not a product. Straight-A Safety Improvement contains three active phases: Assess, Act, and Audit. GET THE NEW E-GUIDE To Assess, your school community will examine its preparedness for emergency situations. A team of community members and experts will come together to examine what measures, plans, programs, and procedures are already in place and working well and the areas that require change and improvement. To Act, your school community will turn the information gathered and lessons learned in the Assessment phase into a plan of action. This is where plans, programs, and procedures are developed and/or refined, and where safety and security measures are implemented, repaired, or changed. To Audit is to test, check and refine the measures, plans, programs, and procedures in place in your school community. It is an active phase that combines continual vigilance and awareness with formal and measured testing of the safety and security measures, plans, and procedures of your school.

I hope Anne Moss Rogers will be back again next year.” -Lori, Parent in a California School District “Good luck dozing off or pseudo listening to AnneMoss Rogers. Even those up all night couldn’t avert their focus to her dynamic ability to connect. We all learned so much from her, and she puts it all on the line. If you want a keynote speaker, or someone to connect with you on a visceral level, Mrs. AnneMoss Rogers is who you want.” -Mike Ross, Patrol Officer, Fairfax County Public Schools Safety and Security Go Go Speaker BIOGRAPHY AnneMoss Rogers has lived the ultimate tragedy and become an expert on emotional wellness, suicide prevention, and postvention, with a niche focus on youth mental health. She educates through storytelling, and shares hope, coping strategies, and straightforward, practical takeaways. Her youngest son, Charles, was the funniest, most popular kid in school. As a teen, he wore the mask of a clown to hide depression and used drugs and alcohol to numb his pain. He would become addicted to heroin and take his life in 2015 at age 20. The most devastating loss of her life was a turning point. While it took time to accept that purpose with grace, she has never looked back or regretted that decision. Putting her grief into action, she authored the award-winning memoir, Diary of a Broken Mind and the Amazon best seller, Emotionally Naked: A Teacher’s Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk with co-writer Dr. Kimberly O’Brien. A TEDx speaker, AnneMoss has been featured in both the New York Times and Variety. She was the first non-clinician invited to speak on youth suicide at the National Institute of Mental Health. She is a registered safeTALK suicide prevention trainer, and she is both ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) and ASK-trained. A UNC - Chapel Hill alumna, she currently lives in Richmond, VA, and her surviving son Richard is a film editor in LA. Book AnneMoss TODAY! Testimonials
