School Adjustment Counseling

SOS Suicide Prevention Program

 

Each school year, Old Colony offers a depression screening for all grade 9 students as part of the SOS Suicide Prevention Program. The depression screening tool that we use targets concerns, thoughts, and feelings which a parent may be unaware that their child is having. This SOS Suicide Prevention tool cannot provide a diagnosis of depression, but does give an indication of whether a young person should be referred for an evaluation by a mental health professional. If the questionnaire shows cause for concern, we will contact you and encourage you to speak with your son or daughter and possibly follow up with a mental health professional for a complete evaluation.

If you have any questions or concerns about this program or would like to opt your student out of the training/screening please contact either of our school adjustment counselors Scott Boyle or Kristyn Falcione. Old Colony will be informing 9th grade parents/guardians prior to the screening regarding the implementation and opt out process.
