There are many examples, but the SRP
helps thousands upon thousands of lives.
John-Michael went to Oklahoma and
assisted in conducting an exercise with over
900 people including students, staff, and
first responders. While they were waiting
to start and there were a couple of girls that
pointed at the Standard Response Protocol
posters and said, You know that there are
somethings that adults don’t want to talk
about; until that poster went up; now we talk
about it. John-Michael said; “Kids need to
know you have a plan”, Ellen echoed that
thought by stating “Talking about it scares
the parents, not the kids.” The artwork for
the posters, cards, handouts, and the presentation is the same
that is given to both students and staff. The standard response
protocol is constantly improving because John-Michael is “Out
there, absorbing and reformulating”. The Standard Response

Protocol addresses a “tough subject that is non-threatening to
schools, staff, students and parents”.
