Minnesota Institute of Public Health

Parents, students, and staff want schools to be safe and healthy places that foster ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, and EMOTIONAL growth. Surveys tell us that the public expects schools to be SAFE and FREE from harassment, drugs and violence of any form.

The AVERT Assessment protocol is an evidenced-based process of assisting schools, school districts or any institute for learning to identify the positives and the issues of concern as perceived by students, parents and staff members.

Implementation of research-based safe school intervention and prevention strategies have resulted in:

1. Increased G.P.A.
2. Increased school attendance
3. Increased connectiveness between students and staff
4. Higher comfort levels and appreciation among students
5. Reduction in discipline issues
