Unfortunately, there are times when students demonstrate that they are a risk to the safety of others. When this happens, it is easy to become overwhelmed and to think about the worst case scenarios we have seen in the news. It is vital to have a protocol ready to go so that you can assess and respond to a student who is having homicidal ideation or is otherwise planning to hurt others. This is not the kind of situation where you can wait until you encounter it to come up with a plan. Having this toolbox on your computer and ready to use is a great way to ensure that you are prepared to comprehensively respond to a student that poses a threat to others.
Included you will find:
- A fact sheet for teachers and staff to help them identify and respond to students expressing homicidal ideation
- Clinician forms to assess risk and document response
- A student worksheet to pinpoint triggers, coping skills, and supports
- Documentation of parent contact and resources provided
Everything is ready to print and go (or customize using the editable version) so that you can respond immediately to ensure safety and to cover yourself in the case of liability.
