The integrated Trauma, Violence & Suicide Prevention (TVSP) model brings together three components:
- Trauma Event Systems (TES): Coordinated trauma response to public traumatic events.
- Violence Threat Risk Assessment (VTRA): Assessment and mitigation of clear or plausible threats of violence.
- Community Suicide Prevention & Response (CSPR): Coordinated prevention and response to suicide-related events and ripple effects.
By uniting schools, municipalities, law enforcement, mental health services, and other community partners under a shared framework, the Tri-Municipal TVSP Protocol aims to reduce isolation, improve communication, and promote early intervention. The ultimate goal is to build safer, more resilient communities and schools across Parkland County, the City of Spruce Grove, and the Town of Stony Plain.
Through the implementation of the TVSP Protocol, partners strive to achieve:
- timely prevention of violent incidents through coordinated responses,
- reduced impact of traumatic events, violent acts or suicide by ensuring rapid and appropriate intervention,
- enhanced community support systems that facilitate recovery and promote lasting well-being, and
- a learning framework that drives improvements in policies and practices based on community experiences.
