CUSD has been working diligently with community partners to keep students safe. Our partnership with The Hope Institute of CUSD is the first school-based suicide treatment center of its kind. Any CUSD K-12 student having thoughts of suicide will be able to receive services within 48 hours and up to 4-5 times a week if needed. All clinicians will have suicide-specific treatment training that reduces thoughts of suicide within an average of 5.2 weeks.

The Hope Institute located at the corner of Queen Creek and Val Vista off the student parking lot of Perry House (1845 E. Queen Creek Rd. Gilbert, Az 85297) opened its doors with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, August 30th to officially welcome them to our community!  For more information about The Hope Institute, contact Clinical Director, Lindsay Taylor.
