*Recent resource addition: Free eBook "Let None Learn in Fear" by Michael Dorn!*

Feel free to download & utilize these free school safety resources. The Weapons Demonstration video featuring Chris Dorn is often helpful when trying to sell a new dress code policy, and the Tactical Site Survey Template is an extremely helpful tool we use to evaluate the overall safety & warmth of a school (the two are closely related). For more about these two please see our Consulting & Training page or contact us.

The PowerPoint presentations are small samples of just a few of our presentations. Feel free to view them and show them to colleagues and others who may find them helpful. Because of their large file size, they have been compressed as PDF files for easier viewing.

To download a resource right-click on the file type you'd like and choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link As", then choose where you'd like to save the file on your computer. (You can choose from Windows Media Video or Quicktime for videos & Microsoft Word DOCs or Adobe Acrobat PDFs for text). The Word documents are editable to fit your needs, and the PDFs are generally read-only. If you'd just like to preview the file you can left-click on the link to open it directly.

If you have any ideas for helpful resources that Safe Havens International can develop and place in this section feel free to contact us and let us know.
