As part of Suicide Awareness & Prevention Month, we encourage you to seek out resources if you are in need. Do not wait to get help. Suicide is preventable! There are so many excellent community resources to take advantage of if you ever find yourself in the midst of a crisis. We wanted to make sure you had all the information at your fingertips. First and foremost, your school counselor and school social worker are available to talk through any major concerns. However, the counseling office is not available for emergencies after hours. If you run into any issues before or after school, please make sure you utilize one of the resources below. We want you to get the help you need at the very moment you need it.
In case of Emergencies:
If you are experiencing an emergency, please seek immediate assistance and/or call 911.
Immediate Mental Health Resources
The following facilities provide 24-hour assistance and have shared with the Fulton County District that they will complete emergency assessments at no cost. If your child already receives support from a mental health provider, you may wish to make contact with that professional first. You may also want to check with your insurance company regarding mental/behavioral health coverage. Please note that the District does not endorse any provider, makes no representations as to the effectiveness of these providers, and makes this information available only as a helpful resource.
