7th Grade Signs of Suicide Lesson
The Hampton Middle School Student Services Department will be running the SOS Program for the 7th grade students during their 3rd period class on Nov.18th, Nov. 25th and Dec. 2nd. Following the video, the students will participate in a follow-up discussion and complete the response cards, indicating whether or not they need to talk to someone about themselves or a friend. Homeroom teachers, school social worker, school psychologist and counselors will be facilitating the process and providing support to students who may need it. The Student Services Department will be reviewing the response cards to identify any students who might need intervention. The students will be putting their names on the response cards in order to accurately identify any students who need assistance.
