How Georgia Schools Can Meet HB 268 Requirements with a Comprehensive Gun Violence Prevention Curriculum

Georgia’s House Bill 268 has ushered in a new era of student safety, mental health support, and violence prevention requirements for K–12 schools. For many school leaders, the question is no longer “Should we improve safety and threat assessment efforts?”

It’s now:

“How do we fulfill these new requirements effectively, affordably, and without overwhelming our staff?”

At The Diversion Center, we’ve been developing violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment tools for over a decade. With the release of The Beyond The Trigger™ Gun Violence Prevention Curriculum, we’re helping Georgia schools take a proactive, trauma-informed, and fully compliant approach to HB 268.

⭐️ What Georgia HB 268 Requires from Schools

HB 268 focuses on improving the safety, health, and well-being of students and school communities, including:

• Establishing behavioral threat assessment teams
• Training staff to identify warning signs of crisis behavior
• Implementing anonymous reporting systems
• Strengthening mental health supports for students
• Providing violence prevention and SEL programming
• Educating students on bullying, decision-making, and conflict resolution
• Encouraging family involvement in student safety
• Improving documentation and communication between departments

Schools need practical, evidence-based tools to meet these requirements.

That’s exactly why the Beyond The Trigger™ Curriculum was created.
