School Re-Entry Guidelines: Recommendations for Hospitals, Schools, and Families in Supporting Youth Following Psychiatric Hospitalization for Suicide-Related Crises

When a student returns to school following a suicide-related crisis, reintegration can be complex and emotionally challenging.

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a structured framework to support schools, families, and hospitals navigate school reintegration.
