This month, RISD counselors will share with staff, students, and parents information about their role supporting student mental health and connecting families with resources. Students will receive guidance lessons on suicide prevention and how to recognize when they or their friends need help while learning the phrase “Time to A.C.T.” (Acknowledge, Care, and Tell). Junior high and high school students will receive information about supporting their mental health. Please click here for more information.
