Issues And Ethics In The Helping Profession – Gerald Corey

Courts have found that the burden involved in making a telephone call is minor considering the risk of harm to a student who is suicidal. In short, school personnel are advised to take every sui- cide threat seriously and to take every precaution to protect the student.

The courts have addressed the need for training school employees in sui- cide prevention. The Wyke v. Polk County School Board (1997) case involved a 13-year-old named Shawn, who attempted suicide two times at school before finally killing himself at home. School officials were aware of the suicide attempts, yet they failed to notify Shawn’s mother. During the trial, several experts in the field of suicide prevention testified about the need for suicide prevention training in schools, including mandatory written policies requiring parental notification, holding students in protective custody, and arranging for counseling services.

The experts who testified at the trial believed the school board failed to provide adequate training for school personnel. Without train- ing, school personnel will most likely underestimate the lethality of suicidal thoughts, statements, and attempts. The conclusion of this expert testimony was that Shawn would not have committed suicide if the employees had been adequately trained. Persuaded by this input, the court held that the school could be found negligent for failing to notify the decedent’s mother.

If you are aiming for a career as a school counselor, you will need more than this basic knowledge regarding your ethical and legal obligations to respond in a professional manner in situations where students may pose a dan- ger to themselves or others. Continuing education is of the utmost importance, as is your willingness to seek appropriate consultation when you become aware of students who are at risk. ✓The Case of Rupe.
