New Suicide Prevention Discussion Guide and Toolkit - ASCA
School counselors have an ethical obligation to recognize a students’ level of suicide risk, but doing so is difficult to quantify for a number of reasons. ASCA’s new toolkit provides conversation guides to have with both students and parents/families, and a checklist for creating a plan for student support. The new Information-Gathering Tool: Suicide Concern is a guide for having a conversation with a student, not an interview. The priority is to connect with the student and the student’s immediate concerns and needs. Also available in Spanish.  For an easy-to-read overview on information-gathering protocol and best practices, check out ASCA’s new A Quick Guide to Support Students with Suicidal Ideation.  Find more suicide prevention and response resources here.

School counselors can explore several resources to find scholarships for high school students in Texas. Here are some avenues they can consider:

1. Texas Education Agency (TEA): The TEA website (tea.texas.gov) provides information and resources for students, parents, and educators in Texas. They may have a section dedicated to scholarships or financial aid programs available to high school students.

2. College and University Websites: Counselors can visit the websites of colleges and universities in Texas. Most institutions have dedicated pages that list scholarships available to incoming freshmen or high school seniors. These scholarships may be specific to the university or open to students from across the state.

3. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB): THECB (www.highered.texas.gov) is responsible for coordinating higher education activities in Texas. They offer resources and information on financial aid and scholarship programs for Texas students. Counselors can explore their website to find relevant scholarships and grants.

4. Scholarship Search Engines: Counselors can utilize online scholarship search engines like Fastweb (www.fastweb.com), Scholarships.com (www.scholarships.com), and CollegeBoard's Scholarship Search (bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search). These platforms allow users to search for scholarships based on various criteria, including location and academic interests.

5. Local Community Foundations and Organizations: Counselors should reach out to local community foundations, nonprofit organizations, and service clubs in their area. These organizations often administer scholarships for high school students. They may have specific eligibility criteria or focus areas, such as academic achievement, community service, or financial need.

6. Professional and Cultural Associations: Counselors can investigate professional and cultural associations relevant to their students' interests or backgrounds. Many associations offer scholarships to support students pursuing specific fields of study or who belong to specific communities.

7. Texas-specific Scholarship Databases: Some websites specialize in compiling scholarships specifically for Texas students. Examples include Texas Scholarships (www.texasscholarships.org) and TexasExes Scholarships (www.texasexes.org/scholarships).

Additionally, school counselors can network with colleagues, attend college fairs, and engage with local businesses and community leaders to gather information about scholarships available to high school students in Texas. Regularly checking for updates and staying informed about scholarship opportunities will help counselors provide the most up-to-date information to their students.

I am the 504 coordinator at my school and there are two things that helped me learn the basics-because I could not find any training for this topic:
sss.usf.edu/resources/topic/section504/504course/...

This link was a self guided course that gave me the foundational knowledge/skills needed to start to feel comfortable.

The other is this manual: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/...

As a professional school counselor, I believe that:

All students have dignity and worth and have a right to a welcoming, safe, and mutually respectful learning environment.

All students have the ability and right to learn and should be given the opportunity to do so.

All students' ethnic, cultural, racial, sexual, and ability differences should be valued and considered in planning, implementing, and evaluating a school counseling program.

School counseling services must be student-centered, data-driven, goal-oriented, and based on the developmental student competencies for all students.

Successful student learning requires the active participation, collaboration, mutual respect, and individual accountability of students, teachers, staff, parents, and community members.

The comprehensive school counseling program is a significant and integral factor of the total instructional curriculum, designed to promote the growth of all students in academic, career, and personal/social development.

Be empathic and compassionate. I will recognize the uniqueness and personal worth of each student, and value their individual contributions to the school community.

Engage in professional development and leadership activities to improve my competency in regards to the latest educational trends and standards.

Adhere to the professional school counseling ethics established by the American School Counselor Association.

Assist and encourage all students to reach their fullest potential and prepare all students to be college, career, and community ready.

Align my programming efforts to support an accepting, safe, and respectful school climate.

Be committed to implementing innovative, student-centered, and system-focused school counseling services to best meet the needs of all students.

Create an environment that meets the academic, social, emotional, creative, and physical needs of all individuals so they can learn, continuously improve, and meet the challenges of an ever-changing society.

Advocate for and support all students in becoming successful, responsible, and contributing members of the community.

As preparation for these tasks, Professor Laurie Santos reveals misconceptions about happiness, annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do, and the research that can help us change. You will ultimately be prepared to successfully incorporate a specific wellness activity into your life.

THE SCIENCE OF WELL BEING WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE DAVID F. SWENSEN FUND FOR INNOVATION IN TEACHING.

Two findings you might find useful:

40% of LGBTQ respondents seriously considered attempting suicide in the past twelve months, with more than half of transgender and nonbinary youth having seriously considered suicide

Transgender and nonbinary youth who reported having pronouns respected by all or most people in their lives attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not have their pronouns respected

David's Law

David’s Law, SB179, basically “expands” HB 1942 and the definition of bullying.  Here are a few of the high points:

·          Denies cyberbullying to include text, social media, internet, etc.

·          Even if cyberbullying occurs OFF CAMPUS, schools must address it if it “materially  and substantially” disrupts classroom or school operations

·          Schools must have a bullying/cyberbullying report form (paper/online) and some form of anonymous reporting

·          More weight in SB179 is lent to the effects of mental health and effects of bullying/cyberbullying on a vulnerable person

·          Stiff penalties for a person who coerces another to die by suicide and parents can seek injunctive relief (court order for the defendant to stop a specified act or behavior) for damages

SB179 is complicated and comprehensive.  Having a sound policy and producers (investigation & documentation) is best practice.   There are many resources available on the web .   More to come as it becomes available.

A condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child's educational performance:

An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.

An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.

Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances.

A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.

A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.

Emotional disability includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have an emotional disturbance.
General Characteristics of Emotional Disturbance vs. Social Maladjustment
A student who receives special education services under the category of Emotional Disability has emotional problems of some kind that are adversely affecting his/her educational performance. Usually schools look at grades, discipline records, and performance on achievement tests to quantify educational impact. In determining eligibility for Emotional Disability, several evaluations are typically completed. A school will conduct psychological testing by a school psychologist, which will include cognitive testing and social/emotional measures ( rating scales, interviews, observations). Educational testing is typically completed to determine current levels of achievement in reading, writing, math, and other educational areas. Additionally, a Sociocultural evaluation or interview by a school social worker is typically completed with a parent to rule out environmental factors and obtain a developmental history. (See SPED testing for more information)

Often, the most difficult part of determining eligibility for special education services in this category is determining if the student has an emotional disability or social maladjustment. The following is adapted from a chart that was shown at a training I attended by Bruce Bracken. He adapted it from Social Maladjustment: A Guide to Differential Diagnosis and Educational Options (Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency - Michigan, 2004).
