ECISD counselors equipping police with mental health first aid
May 22—Friday is a records and staff development day for ECISD, and the school district counselors are hosting a special, day-long session for ECISD police officers. The session is Youth Mental Health First Aid, and the purpose of the training is to ensure all District officers have the tools to recognize when a student may be in crisis, respond with care, and promote mental health support in school.
The ECISD Guidance & Counseling Department is rolling out this training in phases with the goal of training all ECISD employees to be aware of signs of crisis, even things like slight changes in a student's behavior or moods.
Recognizing warning signs early can give professionals the opportunity to provide intervention and support to benefit the student.
The training will be held in Conference Rooms A/B and E of the ECISD Administration Building, 802 N. Sam Houston. It runs from 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and from 1-4 p.m.
