A school that has not printed is not ready to screen. This is the shortest Module in the toolkit and it is the one most likely to be the reason a day goes badly.
| What | How many | Who gets it |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Planning Checklist | One per planner per day | Planner |
| Coping Menu, laminated | Two or three, reused all week | Stays in the room |
| Resource List | Enough for every High Risk student, plus spares | The student keeps it |
| Day schedule | One per planner, one at the front office | Team |
| Hall passes | A stack | Planner |
| Sticky notes | One per student, name and pronouns | Runner to planner |
| Introduction script | One per teacher | Teacher |
Two printed things that are not the same object
The Coping Menu is laminated, lives in the room, gets reused. A student looks at it while the plan is built so they are not staring at an empty box. It does not leave with them.
The Resource List is a paper copy the student keeps.
What goes on the resource list
Three layers, and only the first two are the same everywhere.
| Layer | Contents | Who fills it in |
|---|---|---|
| National | 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Call or text, any time. Press 2 for Spanish, with interpretation in more than 240 further languages on a call. Crisis Text Line. Text HOME to 741741, or HOLA for Spanish. Free, any time, confidential. | SAFER supplies |
| Statewide | YouthLine. Call 877-968-8491 any time. Text teen2teen to 839863. Chat at theyouthline.org. For young people aged 10 to 24. Teens answer the phone from 4pm to 10pm Pacific, and adults answer at all other times. Interpretation is available on calls. | SAFER supplies |
| Local | County crisis line, mobile crisis, nearest emergency departments, walk-in clinic, and the school contact by name | The school fills in, every term |
SAFER supplies a template with the first two layers filled and the third left blank, because local resources differ by county and change. A school in Clackamas and a school in Harney County need different third layers and the same first two.
✓ Take Action. Verify every number against the organization's own page before you print, every term. Lines change numbers, hours and text keywords. A wrong number on a resource list is worse than no list.
Why paper, in an era of links. A student who is escorted back to class, puts their phone in a pouch and goes home to a house where the wifi is monitored still has the piece of paper. It is the least sophisticated part of the whole program and the part most likely to be in a pocket at 11pm.

Five to ten minutes in a classroom, and then everything the rest of this toolkit is for.
