Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are?
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts.
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…” for a more weighted argument?

dentify one challenging aspect of addressing issues such as self-harm, crisis, and trauma:
For me, addressing issues such as self-harm, crisis, and trauma can potentially be triggering. I have personally been through a lot of trauma in my life and have been a therapy patient on and off throughout my life to deal with and comprehend my trauma. Although I think that I have become very adept at compartmentalizing and putting aside my own issues when it comes to addressing these challenging topics, we are all human and I do think it is entirely possible that I will at some point be triggered by my students’s situations if they are close to what I have experienced. This did happen to me once last year when I sat in on a formal truancy mediation with the deputy district attorney. Watching my students cry and talk about their challenges was difficult for me. When I went home that night, I had trouble sleeping because I kept thinking about how vulnerable my students were, and it reminded me of when I was in high school and also considered truant.
Just like I can be triggered by addressing these issues, so can students. I am trained in a mental health awareness curriculum and part of the curriculum requires that a counselor be on-site to address and counsel any students that may be triggered by the material, such as when the curriculum covers suicide and substance abuse. I used to be worried that addressing these kinds of issues could trigger negative actions on behalf of the students, but I have learned that you cannot put the idea of suicide into a student’s head just by talking about it. Still, it is best to be sensitive and feel prepared when addressing these issues.

- Identify one challenging aspect of addressing issues such as self-harm, crisis, and trauma.
In our district all school counselors, admins, SRO and district safety department director get notifications about student misuse of Chromebook, we are a 1:1 district so all students have Chromebook assigned to them. When student Type sexual, self-harm or other inappropriate words or phrases they get a screen shot of what was typed and what student typed it. They don’t have press enter they just have to type it in, and the system captures it. When this happens, we have to make calls home to explain what was typed and we talk to the students about privilege or having a Chromebook. When the issue of self-harm or harming other students comes up. While I was at the middle school, we did a risk assessment on a student who in the middle of the night sent an email stating she was depressed and had “bad thought” the counselor got the alert and called the parents no one answerer so she had to send the sheriff to the home. The student came in the next and thanked the school counselor for checking in on her, this student stated she felt better that she had gotten in a fight with her boyfriend was feeling depressed. Her parents were understanding and supported this was a positive outcome. Two weeks ago, we had a student make threats in the classroom in the elementary school that he hated his life, it was not worth living and that he wished he was not here. We conducted a risk assessment with the school psychologist and after finding out that his melt down, feelings were caused by not wanting to do a writing assignment the thereat was labeled as low. We still went over a safety plan and spoke to the parent in the parking lot at pick up because we could not reach them phone. The parent seemed not concerned, but we still provided the handouts with numbers of locations to where they could get support. We offered for the student to meet with the school MFT and or to make a referral to an outside provider and parent declined. Although the risk was considered low; this student is in 2nd grade and learning how to process these feeling effectively and working with the parent to help support the student would be beneficial. It is challenging when the parents/guardians refuse to acknowledge what the student is saying and also the resources that are being offered. Sometimes they will accept the referrals and not follow through. We had to make a CPS report when a student who had attempted suicide in the past was referred by the SRO and school counselor to be taken the ER was not by parent who said she would take her. When we asked the student why, she said that her mom, sister and sister boyfriend didn’t want to wait. You can guess my frustration and anger. After I left that site, I found out that the student was hospitalized on a hold. For me the biggest challenge I face is parent involvement and commitment to their child’s safety.
