The National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) compiled this list of websites and free resources to help support youth, families, schools, and communities impacted by violence.
SCUSD has partnered with Project Eden, a branch of Horizon Treatment Services, to provide prevention and early intervention support to students at MacDonald, Santa Clara, and Wilcox High Schools. They also refer for higher levels of treatment as needed.
SCUSD has partnered with YVAPE, a FREE educational intervention program that serves as an alternative to suspension, providing phone and video coaching support to students who have been found with nicotine or marijuana at school. YVAPE is currently available to all middle and high school students.
BrightLife Kids offers free personalized support for families and children (ages 0–12), including coaching, 1:1 video sessions, secure chat, on-demand content, and more.
The district also has a partnership with Securly, a cloud-based web filter designed specifically for schools to monitor all students’ online usage of district devices. Securly employs a combination of algorithms and human review to determine the severity level of each alert. Their monitoring system notifies the district and families directly when a district-issued device is used for online activity that raises serious safety concerns, such as bullying, mental health crises, or violence. TBH will provide after-hours support in response to high-level Securly alerts. This collaboration enables a prompt and appropriate response to such critical incidents.
If you or your child are in crisis, please call or text 988 or chat online through the 988 website. This 24-hour crisis hotline offers support in multiple languages.
