School shootings are tragic and devastating events that have become increasingly prevalent, with 158 incidents recorded since 2018 (Education Week, 2023). These events have lasting psychological and emotional impacts on survivors, families, and educators, emphasizing the crucial need for prevention strategies. Schools must provide a safe and secure environment for students to focus on their academic and personal growth. School psychologists play a significant role in preventing school shootings by identifying potential risk factors, implementing preventative measures, and providing mental health support. They can assess students for risk factors such as social isolation, a history of being bullied, and signs of mental health challenges (Borum, Cornell, Modzeleski, & Jimerson, 2010). School psychologists collaborate with school staff and community members to develop crisis response protocols, communication strategies, and trainings to identify concerning behaviors. Their expertise in addressing the complex social and emotional needs of students facing various challenges is invaluable in creating a safe and inclusive school environment. Maintaining a safe and encouraging learning atmosphere where students can excel in their educational journeys, necessitates effective strategies to prevent school shootings. These strategies include implementing safety measures, promoting mental health awareness, educating students on cyber safety, and fostering an inclusive culture.
