To help students in a time of crisis,
each MCPS school has a student services team consisting
of school counselors, a school psychologist, a pupil
personnel worker, and a school
nurse.
This team provides services and
supports to students so that they are available for
learning. In the event of an individual or school wide
crisis, the goal of the team is to return those effected
to their academic focus as quickly as possible. In addition
to training and skills related to their professions,
team members are trained to support students and schools
during and after a crisis using a model developed in
collaboration with the Montgomery County Crisis Center,
and partnership with MCPS Employee Assistance Program,
and the Mental Health Association of Montgomery County.
If you have a concern about your child, please contact
any member of the student services team for assistance.
The MCPS
Employee Assistance Program provides crisis support
services and referral information for MCPS employees.
