Mental Health Resources
The 988 Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the United States. We're committed to improving crisis services and advancing suicide prevention by empowering individuals, advancing professional best practices, and building awareness.
Elyssa’s Mission provides resources to help prevent teen suicide. At Round Lake High School we provide the Signs of Suicide program two times a year in Health Classes, this program seeks to teach youth that depression is a treatable illness, empower them to respond to a potential suicide (themselves, a friend or a family member), and prevent teen suicide. These goals are accomplished through the ACT technique:
Acknowledge you or a friend may be depressed or suicidal
Respond with Care
Tell a trusted adult
ReferralGPS is a service providing assistance to our community in finding local mental-health and substance-use related treatment resources. The service compliments the district's existing systems of support as a tool for student service teams and families to connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in triage and appointment setting.
