The district has implemented programs to address the following mental health, behavioral health, and substance abuse concerns: 

​

 • Mental health promotion and early intervention; 

 • Building skills to manage emotions, establish and maintain positive relationships, and engage in responsible decision-making; 

 • Substance abuse prevention and intervention; 

 • Suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention (interventions after a suicide in a community); 

 • Grief, trauma, and trauma-informed care; 

 • Positive behavior interventions and supports; 

 • Positive youth development; and 

 • Safe, supportive, and positive school climates.

 

If a student has been hospitalized or placed in residential treatment for a mental health condition or substance abuse, the district has procedures to support the student’s return to school.
