When staff members are struggling with mental health issues, school districts face a series of complex legal, medical and educational issues. This workshop will provide clear guidance on the signs to look for when a staff member is dealing with mental health issues, strategies for assisting staff members, key steps to take in documenting any changes in behavior and their impact on staff performance and student safety; when and how to require staff members to be sent for mental health evaluations and procedures to use when this occurs, and understanding what reasonable accommodations may be required to address staff members dealing with mental health issues.
