Suicide Prevention

a.       We take the safety of our students seriously, as well as the privilege to collaborate with parents and families. We have school counselors at each of our Kg-12 schools, who are trained in suicide screening protocols.

b.       Our goal is to be able to support students as needed, and to work cooperatively with parents and families to keep kids safe and healthy. If a concern arises that indicates a student is having suicidal thoughts, our school counselors meet with that student to ensure they are safe at school, and will then connect with that student’s parent, guardian and family to make sure the family has the information they need to provide support and supervision for their student.

c.       If you have concerns or questions related to this, you can reach out to Chris Cochran, FSD Director of Behavior and Mental Health at chris.cochran@ferndalesd.org.
