Concord schools put enhanced focus on suicide prevention efforts >Published: 7/12/2021 5:24:29 PM
When Concord schools reopen in the fall, each building will have a “suicide prevention liaison,” a school psychologist who will serve as the point of contact when a student is believed to be at an elevated risk of self-harm.
District-wide, Concord plans to put an extra focus on student emotional well-being, with an eye toward suicide prevention.
Last week the Concord School Board passed a detailed suicide prevention plan that lays out the protocol for district staff to follow in order to assess the risk of suicide and intervene if necessary, and also respond to a suicide death if it happens.
