[Counselors] Protocol for Suicidal/Self Harming Students

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

I don't know about protocol, but I always told my students when they visited with me, that if they shared anything that led me to believe they might harm themselves I was required to share that. I also never let them leave my office without promising me that they would not hurt themselves till I talked to them again. Sounds simple, but seemed to work. Many resources for Suicide Prevention.

 Would anyone be willing to
 share the protocols you have in place to use when you have a
 student who confides that he/she is suicidal or that he/she
 is self-harming? Thanks in advance!
