\"Southeastern<\/span><\/p>\n

By Madeleine Burry<\/em><\/p>\n

Lois Miller arrived at Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School (SRVTHS) in Easton, Massachusetts, in 2024 with classic new-job energy. \u201cWhen I came to Southeastern, I thought, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re going to need to do a survey. I need to see where everything is at\u2019,\u201d said Miller, MS, CAGS, reflecting on her first few weeks as the director of guidance at SRVTHS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, to her surprise, she wouldn\u2019t need to do a survey. SRVTHS was in the second year of the three-year <\/span>JED High School Program<\/span><\/a>, aiming to strengthen its mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems. At the start of the partnership, The Jed Foundation (JED) surveyed teachers, students, and staff to identify and understand the current climate, needs, policies, programs, and practices surrounding student mental health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing off the survey data, JED worked with a steering committee at the school to develop a strategic plan. The plan outlined how to efficiently and effectively enhance what is already working and address unmet needs. That meant Miller came into her new role with the information she needed, and she said she was delighted to find \u201cthis great strategic plan that was already put together with all sorts of resources on not just what to do, but ideas on how to get started.\u201d With that information, Miller was able to focus on enacting the recommendations in the plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the three-year engagement, JED distributed another set of surveys to document what the school accomplished, and SRVTHS\u2019 data spoke volumes. In the original survey, 69% of students agreed there was a good support system on campus for students going through difficult times. Now 88% reported feeling that way \u2014\u00a0a 19% change. There was also a nearly 30% jump in students who agreed that mental and emotional health is a priority at the school: In 2023, 47% said it was a priority, while 61% said so in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a glimpse at how the school got there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gaining Motivation, Support, and Partnership With JED\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the very first in-person meeting with JED in 2023, David A. Joseph, a guidance counselor at SRVTHS, recalls reviewing results from the initial survey. \u201cIt really set the stage for what we thought JED was going to lead us through,\u201d Joseph says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JED reviewed the survey data and used its evidence-based framework \u2014 <\/span>the Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention for High Schools<\/span><\/a> \u2014 to create a plan for SRVTHS<\/span>. After reviewing the plan and considering the school\u2019s culture and climate, SRVTHS officials chose to focus on three domains: establish and follow crisis-management procedures, encourage help-seeking behavior, and improve recognition of and response to early warning signs of distress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was great about the start of the process of working with JED was that [their message was], \u2018No, don\u2019t try to touch everything all at once\u2019,\u201d Miller says. \u201cYou know how it is when you try to do everything at once \u2014 nothing gets done the way you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Miller found that JED offered empathetic flexibility. The school was partnered with Krystal Skaggs, MS, LPC, LCDC-I, a JED School Mental Health Specialist. With a background as a mental health therapist and school counselor, as well as a long history of working in school settings, Skaggs brought an intrinsic understanding of the day-to-day challenges in public education. Miller and her steering committee met monthly with Skaggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the check-ins was exactly what we needed to stay on the course,\u201d Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three Years, and Big Accomplishments\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are some of the main accomplishments SRVTHS achieved in its three years working with JED.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enacting a Suicide Prevention Program\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cOne of the big things that we really worked on was suicide prevention,\u201d Miller says. The high school now has a standardized practice in place to respond to students in distress. All counselors and staff members have been trained in the protocol, Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The previous year, the school had a Signs of Suicide suicide-prevention training with teachers and freshmen; last year, there was training for both freshmen and sophomores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a huge accomplishment,\u201d Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Encouraging Help-Seeking Behavior and Access to Care\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

To increase help-seeking behavior among students, SRVTHS implemented a program with Care Solace, a service that allows students, staff, and anyone in the school community to access referrals to a wide variety of services outside of what the school provides. That\u2019s often therapy, Miller says, but people can also seek services for neuropsychological evaluations and other mental health support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people are depressed or struggling, making all those phone calls is really difficult,\u201d Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Developing Students\u2019 Life Skills\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no denying that it\u2019s helpful for young people to feel confident in their social skills. To that end, Miller does a question of the day each morning with students\u00a0and staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just trying to connect with them…and it really does make an impact,\u201d Miller says. Some questions require deep thought (those are never asked on a Monday), but often they\u2019re simple: What\u2019s a color you associate with July? Have you ever lived in another state? What are your go-to rainy-day activities?<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller relies on <\/span>The First Five<\/span><\/a>, a resource Skaggs shared with her, which sends a daily email with questions tailored for various grades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning a Spotlight on Mental Health\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Over three years, the partnership has allowed the school to put more energy into improving its students\u2019 mental wellness. The work done in the counseling department and the support available are more visible, Joseph says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJED helped make it feel more schoolwide, and not feel like it\u2019s something that just counselors do in the building,\u201d Joseph says of SRVTHS\u2019 mental health supports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students have gotten involved in amplifying mental health care through awareness campaigns such as <\/span>Movember<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Green Bandana<\/span><\/a>, and helping others through organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Project Playhouse. Many staff members are also involved with programs related to student well-being, Joseph says. The school\u2019s athletic department, for example, ran a program on mental health awareness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes a bigger impact if we\u2019re all working together on it,\u201d Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Southeastern<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Ahead for SRVTHS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Joseph hopes more teachers will get involved in various programs, especially those of vocational classes. The teachers, who come with expertise on plumbing, HVAC systems, and other trades, work closely with students, but they may not have experience identifying mental health issues or providing support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Miller and Joseph, there\u2019s a glow from the accomplishments that are reflected in the survey data. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting…getting that validation\u201d from the survey, Miller says. \u201cIt helps with the motivation to keep moving forward in the right direction.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s a clear sense of what remains to be done: Some areas of the strategic plan presented early on in the partnership haven\u2019t yet been addressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know where we need to go, and we have a road map to get there,\u201d Miller says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
