Mental Health: Responding and Referring

Mark your calendars!! November 29 at Heartland, we will be providing a one-day workshop on Mental Health: Responding and Referring. The objectives for the day are:

Participants will

• determine a systematic process for screening and documenting crisis and mental health referrals
• know when to complete a suicide screening, documentation, who to involve, and steps for a referral for higher level of care and follow up
• identify and select depression and suicide screening tools
• understand the 3 types of releases of information and how and when to use them.  (IDEA, 504 and School District).

• know a variety of options for collaboration, consultation and follow up for students who have been referred for MH therapy services with a private provider.
• discuss how consultation and collaboration look and create a plan for consistent response for MH referrals
• create an outline for a reentry protocol for students returning to school from hospital, placement, long absence or crisis.

Registration is free and will be coming out this fall!!
