Crisis Resources

While Travis Ranch is closed and none of the counselors are on campus, I wanted to make sure that you know what resources are available to you. With this situation being new to all of us and emotions heighten, our Outreach Concern counselors can still be available to our students. If there are students that need to talk to someone at this time, please know you can use the following:

• Crisis hotline: 1-800-4-CONCERN (for students)
• Michelle Aiello (Regional Field Supervisor )is available at 714-319-6471 (school questions and support)
• Family support: 211 (call from their phones)

If you have additional questions, please reach out to Mrs. San Roman. asanroman@pylusd.org

Below are some resources for talking with students about violence at school.  This list has been provided by one of our mental health contractors, Outreach Concern (outreachconcern.org).
