Summary

 

Starting with the report about a crisis-intervention in case of a terrorist attack in Wuerzburg, Germany, committed by a Syrian youngster who had been in a school there for two years, ideas will be presented about special issues that have to be considered in such cases. These ideas will refer to matters of intervention as well as to matters of prevention and lead to consequences how school-psychologists can be prepared for reacting to terrorist attacks in the school setting.  Experience and ideas of workshop participants will as well be gathered and discussed.
