Compile a list of outside resource agencies that you could use as referral for a specific demographic or school.Look at the following:
* What are costs involved?
* Are there waiting lists for services? If so, how long of a wait on average?
* Are there bilingual counselors available?
* What is the average length of treatment time?
* Do they specialize in this area or are they generalists?

You will also need to provide an action plan to handle the crisis.
* What prevention plans are available?
* Do you need to contact others?
* What are the legal issues that you need to be aware of?
* What, if any, school policies might be in place?
* What are the rights of the students?
* Who would you need to involve?
* Are there any biases that might impact you or others?
* Is there a specific parent notification timeline?
