| Introduction | ||
|
Teachers can be called upon at a moment's notice to address situations involving a mental health emergency. Conditions such as violent behavior; alcohol or drug abuse; stress; physical or sexual abuse; depression or other mental illnesses have the potential to lead to suicidal behavior in a student. Teachers often think that they need more information about how to best tend to mental health emergencies.
In addition, teachers often find themselves in positions of helping parents or other concerned students find needed information. Locating the right resources quickly and easily is essential to knowing how to behave in a situation and how to direct someone to locate authoritative resources. |
