Introducing a New Webinar:
Suicide Attempts & Hospitalization:
7 Critical Issues for Higher Ed
Tuesday, September 14th – 2 pm (ET)

Some of the most difficult situations to deal with on today’s college campus are responding to suicide attempts and managing the process of hospitalizing a student for psychiatric reasons.

• Does your school have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with our local in-patient hospital unit?
• How can you back up the idea behind: “I’m worried about this student and want them to get better before they come back to campus. I know they aren’t ready.”
• Do you know the most dangerous time for a student isn’t at admission—but two weeks after coming out of the hospital?
• Do you get mixed messages about whether you should call parents or not? As a parent, you bet they want to know—but as an administrator you feel torn under FERPA.

Residential life staff is often concerned about the impact on other students and their residential life community. Deans and Administrators are concerned about potential liability to the college making key decisions involving the student remaining on campus, interim suspension, ADA regulations and parental notifications. And, counselors are often concerned for the student’s welfare and returning them back to campus safely.

Join our expert panelists in this webinar cosponsored with PaperClip Communications and ACCA as they address the key elements of the process involved when a student attempts suicide; how the student should be evaluated and transported to the hospital; how information is shared with parents; the pros and cons on interim suspension versus a medical leave of absence and how to keep both the student and the greater community safe.
