Prompt #1: Did you receive training regarding children with Emotional Disturbance? How was it helpful or not? Does your school have an “Emergency Team” for a student with Emotional Disabilities?
I never received training for this with children. Previous job training has helped me develop scenarios for adults with ED. This has been helpful. My own depression and anxiety as well as my sons' issues have helped me develop ideas on how to work with students with ED.
My school does not have an Emergency Team. There is supposed to a crisis team from around the district if a student has an episode but it does not always happened event though SOP states it should. Just this week I had a student try to commit suicide and when I found out and brought him to the office, he was not given a crisis team or any on site counseling. The Social Worker was too busy and they allowed him to go home with a family friend and not his parents. He had fresh wounds on his arms and nothing was done.
