As a teacher and educator, you play an important role in your students’ safety and emotional wellbeing. In many cases, you are on the “front line” and not only know the behavior of each student, but are responsible for recognizing warning signs of distress. We’ve developed a segment of the Florida Juvenile Firesetters resource website to address your concerns and how you can play a role in preventing firesetting behavior.
