It is a requirement of schools and organizations to know and adhere to their mental health and safety crisis protocols and procedures. Active Minds cares about the mental and physical safety of youth above all else, which is why it is a requirement of your signed Partnership Agreement. To participate in the We Are Active Minds Middle program, your school or organization needs to have set policies and procedures around suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse, or if a youth is experiencing a mental health crisis. Active Minds strongly recommends working closely with your school or organization’s mental health team and understanding the procedures and protocols before implementation. Active Minds will also be providing additional training and resources to help the adult facilitators feel better equipped for these conversations.
