Students may display behaviors that prompt concern from those around them (e.g., classmates, friends, teachers, and family) in various ways, such as observable risky behavior; concerning or threatening statements made in person, online, or in text messages; or submitting assignments with bizarre or unusual content or statements. When behaviors prompt concern, those around the student need a method for reporting and sharing their concerns.
