The Student Services Team is reaching out with yearly reminders of our protocols and procedures around suicide risk and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), as required by <\/a>Adi’s Act<\/a> (Senate Bill 52).  We will be providing a series of updates to ensure that administrators have information on updated protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminder: Safe Oregon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe Oregon tips involving suicidal ideation or non-suicidal self-injury require follow up with your school based mental health staff (follow up screening and entry into Student Safe each time). <\/a>Refer to the student services slide deck<\/a> or reach out to Sean, Jamie, Scott, or Kayla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminder: Screening Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per our Adi’s Act plan, staff who can risk screen and safety plan with students include school counselors, school psychologists, and student success clinicians. ASIST trained school nurses and student success staff can collaborate with their school based mental health professionals after screening on next steps in safety planning and lethal means calls home. Policy requires that a student is screened and parent\/caregivers are notified the same day that a concern is noted. Same day notification to administrators is also a requirement, as is the entry of all screening information and contact details intoStudent Safe<\/a>. All administrators have access to the Student Safe system, and if anyone would like a 1:1 <\/a>walkthrough,<\/a> please reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
