ADI’S ACT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is\u00a0Adi’s Act<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adi’s Act is named after Adi Staub who died by suicide in 2017 after struggling in high school with coming out as transgender. She struggled to fit in as a transgender teen despite the support of her family and friends. As Adi progressed through high school, she began to feel marginalized by her peers and school staff. Two years after her transition, Adi completed suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Bill 52 (Adi’s Act) requires all Oregon school districts to develop a comprehensive model suicide plan that addresses policy and protocols related to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention, and address populations at higher risk for youth suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the Bend-La Pine School District has a Suicide Prevention\u00a0Protocol<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in place that addresses suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. A work group composed of BLS district administrators, counselors, and public health staff are actively updating our current procedures to include more comprehensive evidence-based practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few of our nurses will soon be attending a training on the BLS updated Suicide Risk Screen Assessment. During our nurse’s meeting on January 18, theses nurses will provide our team with the information they have obtained that will allow nurses, who are ASIST trained, to help with suicide risk screenings. With training, nurses can recognize a student in crisis and conduct risk screenings to determine the level of support a student may need. Nurses can also contribute with the development of a safety plan that meets the specific needs of that student. <\/p>\n\n\n
