Keys To Safer Schools.com  is dedicated to helping parents, schools and other youth oriented organizations to have a safer place to learn, work and play in today’s climate of rising youth violence. Keys to Safer Schools.coman  organization based in Cabot, Arkansas, with a global presence through their extensive website, training and network of Associates.

The  they promote are Prevention, Intervention and Crisis Preparedness.  The message in their literature, training and public speaking is aimed at students, parents, teachers, administrators, law enforcement and others involved with young people.

While schools are statistically the safest place for children to be, the public perception is that more must be done to insure and educational environment that is violence free. Keys recognizes the daunting task for educators to do all that is asked now without the added burden of yet another program. Therefore, this organization dedicates itself to assisting schools in enhancing their student safety through training, information and materials that present minimal requirements of time and effort

The Staff and Associates of Keys To Safer Schools.com offer a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience found no where else on the web. This depth of knowledge is evident in our Executive Director Frank Green a licensed mental health Therapist and a past Assistant Director of the Division of Youth Services (DYS).  As the Assistant Director of DYS he was charged with oversight of the State’s Correctional facilities and Serious Offender Camps for juveniles, which held the two Jonesboro Shooters.  Mr. Green, a retired military officer, never believed that his demolition training and his training as a Military “Risk Analysis Officer” would be applicable to schools and other youth oriented organization.  However,  in this day and time it has proven to be extremely helpful..  Another staff member who again reflects Keys’ breadth of knowledge is Mike Nelson, MS, LPC, NCC – Director, Program Development & Instruction. He too is a licensed mental health Therapist.  Mr. Nelson has worked with Serious Offender Juveniles. He developed and ran programs in state Mental Health Center.  These programs provided a broad range of services from electronic monitoring of Juveniles to Teen Courts to Truancy programs to groups of suspended/expelled students for violent/weapons violations to educational groups and more.  

Through these leaders and many friends and Associates of Keys, we have grown into a national and even international resource for schools, school resource officers, juvenile justice, youth organizations and parents who have been searching for help in the growing crisis of violence.  Keys has provided resources to most states in the US and even to places like Sweden, England, Japan, Germany, Australia, and more.
