Time: 1:00PM Central (2:00PM Eastern, 12:00PM Mountain,

The school nurse is often the first contact for self-injury
that occurs at school, and attention to the physical wound is vital. Several things can facilitate further
assessment and a successful referral. The
health office environment must be safe, and health personnel must have a
history of taking interest in and demonstrating concern for all students.
Teaming with, or referral to, school support or crisis staff is imperative, as
is both notifying and involving the parents or guardian.
