Crisis Management Institute’s Prevention Program
5 Radical Minutes is an online, research-based curriculum that uses a systematic, strategic approach to engage all individuals in the school, from students to school leadership.
When used every year over the K-12 lifetime, each student receives 2,340 lessons, totaling 11,700 minutes (195 hours) of social emotional learning (SEL).
5 Radical Minutes is authored by Cheri Lovre, a Behavioral Specialist with 40+ years of experience in school crisis response. (Her full bio can be read here.) This trauma-informed approach further enriches our daily 5-minute program.
