[Counselors] Protocol for Suicidal/Self Harming Students

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Tarasoff Law " Duty to Warn." requires notification of authorities and any
person that the client is going to harm.  If the child has a plan you have
to warn.

A Great teacher is still by far the most important factor in
determining a student's educational success!

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. Nancy Reed, Keyes

 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!
