Mead School District Staff strive to ensure each student is Future Ready and empowered to Dream, Believe, and Achieve. We use an Upstream approach to issues related to mental health, substance use, and suicide which includes focusing on youth before any possible risk of suicide has developed. We seek opportunities to build resiliency by promoting mental wellness, enhancing protective factors, creating a sense of belonging, developing problem-solving skills, and build communities that support those protective factors. We collaborate with many community partners to support our youth and families, and additionally, we have trained staff who are able to respond to suicide or other mental health/substance use crisis in the event a student needs that level of support.
