Graz Mayor Kahr: Terrible tragedy after school attack!
Graz, Österreich - in Graz there was a tragic incident in a school on Tuesday where at least nine people, including the alleged perpetrator, lost their lives. Mayor Elke Kahr (KPÖ) in Graz described the situation as a "terrible tragedy" and was present at the scene on Tuesday morning. Many injuries were taken to a hospital, while some of the affected children and teachers were brought to the Helmut-List-Hall in Graz. When coping with the situation, Kahr praised the careful operational organizations.
To support families, family reunions take place in the ASKÖ Hall. Kahr also emphasized the importance of psychological support and demanded that lessons should take place in the coming days, but the fabric is not in the foreground in order to give the affected time for processing.
Psychological care for those affected
In the context of tragedies and crises, the psychological support of those affected is of crucial importance. An example of this is a 13-year-old student of a middle school in Eastern Styria who had threatened with a killing run. The student, who is currently suspended because of his threats, receives psychological care that is supported by his parents. He faces a fate that is not to be followed up in court, as this is only possible from the age of 14.
The student is the first to use a new program for suspension support by the coordination office for violence and radicalization prevention in the education directorate. The support from social worker includes visits several times a week until the end of his four -week suspension, which ends on October 18. The police are also included for prevention.
crisis intervention at schools
Against the background of such incidents, the handout "crisis intervention at schools" is of great importance. This was created to support school management in implementing a school crisis team and offers guidelines and materials for coping with crisis. The aim is to improve the prevention, acute cases and aftercare of crises and contribute to quality assurance in the field of school crisis intervention. These measures should not only react to acute incidents, but also promote the long -term psychological stability of the students.These tragic incidents underline the need to increase preventive measures in educational institutions. Both in Graz and in Eastern Styria, the importance of psychological support and individual support is still to the fore in order to be able to react appropriately to such crisis situations.
