WHEN SHOULD a referral FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT be made?

A referral for mental health support should be considered when you believe a student’s problems go beyond your experience and expertise.

The following are recognizable indicators to refer for targeted or intensive, individualized mental health supports:

• Marked decline in school performance
