To help students in a time of crisis, each MCPS school has a student support 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 affected 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, MCPS Employee Assistance Program, and EveryMind. 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.
If you need help and support, or know someone who does, you can contact the Montgomery County Hotline at 301-738-2255. The hotline is available 24/7. All calls are free and confidential.
