Mental Health Crisis Response
The mental health and wellness of our students are critical during this COVID-19 pandemic. The Mount Horeb Area School District is committed to supporting students and their families during this time of need. MHASD Director of Student Services, Brian Johnson, has partnered with Nancy Pierce, licensed clinical social worker with Journey Mental Health, to create a presentation called “How to Respond to Youth Mental Health Needs During the Corona Crisis?” It can be found here on the District YouTube Channel.
If your child is in immediate danger (serious risk of harm or death) or putting someone else in immediate danger, then call 911 OR the Mount Horeb Police Department (608) 437-5522.
If your child reports they want to die/do not want to be here but denies plans to act on those feelings and there is no immediate danger, then call Journey Mental Health (608) 280-2600, text the Crisis Helpline at 741-741, or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
If your child is in emotional distress…
-
Is having a panic attack or is extremely anxious
-
Is extremely sad or appears depressed
-
Is exhibiting extreme irritability
-
Is exhibiting pronounced symptoms or significant changes in behaviors
-
Is exhibiting atypical acting out behaviors that do not respond to de-escalation attempts
Then call your primary care physician OR Journey Mental Health/Dane County Crisis Line (608) 280-2600.
If your child is feeling upset and just wants to talk to someone about how they are feeling, then contact a Student Services Team Member at their building level.
