PREVAIL!® for Elementary Schools

An armed intruder situation is something few of us have prepared for. And it’s that lack of preparation that raises anxiety… and fear. As an administrator, teacher or staff member… others look to you for help… especially in times of need. One of the times you may be asked to lead is when the unthinkable happens. It may help you to think of preparing for an armed intruder event in the same way that you prepare your staff or students for a fire, an earthquake or tornado. By taking a few minutes to train for one of these events, you know what to do in the very unlikely event that it actually happens. The exact same thing holds true when preparing for an armed intruder event.

PREVAIL!® provides a tested, simple model that focuses on the life-saving principles and tactics you can use when faced with a violent event - providing greater knowledge and situational understanding.

This course - and the videos you will watch during the training - are very realistic. You’ll see an intruder, weapons, injuries… and fear in each character as they do correct things… and some incorrect ones… when in an armed intruder situation.

The intent of this program is not to increase your fear… but rather inform and train you to not only recognize potential threats, but to empower you… with a list of options and actions… in case you find yourself in a situation like this.

Training INCREASES our ability to take appropriate action. It gives us a greater sense of preparedness, which will help with anxiety and stress levels - especially during an intruder situation. It helps us PREVAIL!
