Huge hugs hon. I lost an 8th grade student to suicide two yers ago and it still haunts me. If you know he/she is getting help trust that they're in good hands. Lots of T&Ps to you. If you need to vent, PM me.
As a school counselor, my first question is if this has been reported to the school counseling department. We are trained to make sure that our students receive the help they need via outside counseling services. I know you're worried, but if it's been reported, the student should be in good hands. T&P's! :-)
Thanks to you all. My heart is breaking and I'm feeling very helpless. If anyone has any helpful suggestions for how to be proactive I would appreciate it. I might PM a few tomorrow when I'm on my computer.
Re: T & Ps please (NBR)
I'm assuming you've reported it?
I hope for a peaceful resolution as well. Thoughts to you, the student and all involved.
