<p>This week, our Social Worker, <strong>Ms. Jessica Chock-Goldman</strong> arranged for Stuyvesant to host a <strong>suicide assessment training</strong>/conversation with <strong>Dr. Ruth Gerson</strong>, Director of <strong>Bellevue Hospital Children’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program</strong>. Ms. Chock-Goldman shared that “Conversations about suicidal ideation are becoming more prevalent in our daily discourse with students, and we believe that it is imperative that in-school clinicians have the language to assess our students.” 40 people attended this informative session; a combination of school counselors, social workers, intern social workers, an NYU professor, and two members of our district team.</p>
