(Room 118)                   Roadmap for Creating a Zero Suicide School District

Brooke Lawson, Mental Health and School Counseling Coordinator, Hamilton

Southeastern School Corporation

Panel of Hamilton County Leaders

How can we collaborate to prevent youth suicides and create a school culture of mental well-being? The City of Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools will share a roadmap for mobilizing a broad, diverse coalition to create Zero Suicide School district that addresses disparities, combats stigma surrounding mental illness, creates effective mental health partnerships and promotes mental wellbeing. The Fishers Mental Health task force will share how a referendum was passed for Hamilton Southeastern Schools that helped to drive a complete change in the operations and culture around mental health. You will hear how this community movement grew to include city officials, public safety, public school officials, local non-profits, youth sports groups, state and national mental health associations, hospital administrators, chambers of commerce, business leaders, faith leaders, and local families impacted by mental illness and suicide. The team will describe how they ensured transparency, open communication and convened dozens of meetings to bring together members of the Fishers community to achieve the common agenda: to develop a community that embraces mental health treatment before a crisis occurs, protects the welfare and safety of Fishers residents and takes a systemic approach to mental health in the community. You will learn how work groups identified clear objectives and measures and developed mutually reinforcing plans of action. The team will describe how the city, schools, mental health providers and community came together to combat mental illness, influence policy, develop new programs and created a #StigmaFreeFishers. You will learn how they lead culture change regarding mental health.

Tornados, fires, or active shooters have all had drastic effects on schools. School leaders can take a proactive, all-hazards approach in creating a safe, secure, and trusting environment. This program aims to provide valuable insight on how a small, rural district formed its own police department, utilizes technology to expedite emergency response, uses multiple means to communicate tactical information, and implements practices which enhance safety for all within the district.

(Room 120) Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World: The Jennings County
Schools Story

Teresa Brown, Superintendent, Jennings County School Corporation

Dr. Amy Pettit, School Board Member, Jennings County School Corporation

When we asked our students, “What is your struggle,” students responded, “I have depression and I am a cutter. I’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts and it’s rough.” “My mom slams me up against walls and constantly screams at me.” “I feel alone in my family because there are so many problems.” “I’m dealing with the trauma of rape and being molested.” These comments didn’t come from only a few students. Over 65% of our 1200 high school students identified as having medium to high amounts of emotional pain in the past 30 days. Our data reflected a student population that needed our school district staff to address the whole child. As a school district we have prioritized social emotional learning and are making systemic changes to connect with our students and provide resources to our staff. We are moving beyond the conversation of why and how trauma impacts students to taking action. By sharing our story, we hope to help others on a similar journey find some practical solutions.
