School-Based Mental Health Conference 2026

This required training provides school-based staff with an overview of HCPS suicide screening procedures, response protocols, and recent updates from the VDOE. Participants will review division expectations related to risk identification, screening practices, documentation requirements, parent notification, safety planning, and referral processes. The session will also highlight recent legislative and VDOE guidance updates impacting school-based suicide prevention and intervention efforts. Through discussion and case-based examples, staff will strengthen their understanding of their roles and responsibilities in supporting student safety and ensuring compliance with state and division requirements.
