In accordance with AB 2022, the Foresthill Union School District wants to ensure that parents, guardians, and students are informed about resources available for anyone who believes they are in a mental health crisis. We also encourage parents/guardians and students to talk with any adult in the school district if they are concerned about other students and possible mental health needs. Take all threats of suicide seriously.
