SOS Parent Letter

Dear Timberline High Parent / Guardian,  

This year school staff are working to teach students about mental health and how to seek help if they are worried about themselves or a friend. We are using a program called SOS Signs of Suicide. The program teaches students about this difficult topic and encourages them to seek help. 
SOS has been used by thousands of schools for over 20 years. Studies have shown that it effectively teaches students about depression and suicide while reducing the number of students’ self-reported suicide attempts.  
Through the program, students learn: 
  • that depression is treatable, so they are encouraged to seek help  
  • how to identify depression and potential suicide risk in themselves or a friend 
  • to ACT (Acknowledge, Care and Tell a trusted adult) if concerned about themselves or a friend 
  • who they can turn to at school for help 
On November 9th and 10th, students will watch age-appropriate video clips and participate in a guided discussion about identifying who their trusted adults are and what to do if they are concerned about a friend.  Following the video, students will complete a brief depression screening form. This form cannot provide a diagnosis of depression but does indicate whether a young person should seek help from a mental health professional.  At the end of class, students will have the opportunity to ask to talk with an adult about any concerns.  School staff will conduct brief meetings with any student asking to talk. 
We encourage you to visit www.mindwise.org/parents for information on warning signs for youth suicide, useful resources, and some of the key messages students will learn. 
We also encourage you to review:  
If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s participation in this program you can contact Principal Chad Wright (chad.wright@boiseschools.org) or any of our school counselors.

Outside Counseling Support Available at Timberline

Timberline High School is partnering with Clear SkiesTherapy Center to provide on-campus counseling for students during the school day.

This program is especially designed for students who could benefit from regular counseling but face barriers such as scheduling, transportation, or access to services outside of school.

A Clear Skies therapist will meet with students at school and is able to accept many insurance plans.

If you think your student may benefit from this support or if you have questions, please reach out to your student’s counselor or Katy Metzger, Timberline Social Worker:
