Steps for the 4J Screening and Documentation Process:
A student is referred to you or you have determined the need for a mental health screening of a student.
Complete a C-SSRS screening using the guidance provided.
File the C-SSRS in the student's working file in the school counselor's office.
Contact the primary caregiver and/or DHS to communicate the screening results. Gather information using the primary caregiver interview guide (if needed) to include in your assessment.
Complete the Dataport District Documentation EVERY TIME you do a C-SSRS screening regardless of risk level. This includes scheduling follow up check ins at a minimum of 14 days and 30 days after the initial screening.
Complete the Mental Health Alert form and have it filed in the student's Cumulative folder.

Sources of Strength
A best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults. Sources of Strength moves beyond a singular focus on risk factors by utilizing an upstream approach for youth suicide prevention. This upstream model strengthens multiple sources of support (protective factors) around young individuals so that when times get hard they have strengths to rely on.
