Circle of Trust In-Person Training
Operationalizing School Safety
Beyond theory, its practical, hands-on training designed to unite your team for the realities of crisis preparedness, response, and recovery.
What is the Circle of Trust Training?
We believe safety is not a concept—it’s a practice. Circle of Trust Training was built to empower schools, districts, and public safety to collaborate in meaningful, proactive ways that build trust, confidence, and readiness. In a world where threats are unpredictable, we help people feel prepared, protected, and empowered to respond—not just react.
Why Circle of Trust?
We don’t just give you theory—we put you in scenarios that prepare your team to think, communicate, and respond under pressure.
Together, we build the circle of trust your school community depends on.
