Support during or after a crisis
In the event a child expresses suicidal thoughts, suicidal intent or makes a suicide attempt, counselors will confidentially execute the district's Suicide Intervention Protocol (SIP). Parents will be notified. See below for a presentation that outlines warning signs and our process. Copies of the district protocol and consent forms are also provided as a reference.
