We also have forms we fill out that gives the parent the resources. Also, it lay out the problem the student is having because a very high percentage of deaths by suicide have sought medical attention within 6 mos prior to death. The problem is they see the dr but don't say what the problem is. Will be more than happy to share our forms!

We contact parents and recommend, but not require, that they seek medical attention whether it be the family Dr. or through the ER.  If the child tells us that they didn't go to the Dr. or the parents didn't seek counseling, we report to DHS.

We so highly encourage seeing a specialist if you are to the point where the suicidal thoughts have a plan. However, we give parents several free options. Since we can't force a parent to take them, our policy does state if they don't, we call DHS. This is just if they have a plan, not just thoughs

I am concerned that a school may be setting itself up for liability (cost wise) by stating the parent needs to seek treatment and get a release.
Furthermore, as I'm sure you will, run the forms by the principal. They should be signed off on.

Best of luck.

Do any of you have protocols in place to use when dealing with students who are self-harming? If so, will you please share?
