*Our Improvement

*Need more training in how to communicate with students in crisis events, particularly for MS students*Many of our young exuberant staff have

great relationships with younger kids but don’t have skills for crisis mode.*Need to learn to Hear, care and listen then

become part of the counselor team*Should have a written crisis plan
