  • The Harlingen CISD Crisis Team plays a crucial role in supporting campuses dealing with the loss of a student or staff member by providing immediate psychological support and counseling services. The team, composed of trained mental health professionals, offers grief counseling, facilitates group sessions, and provides resources to help students and staff cope with the emotional impact of the loss. This support is vital in maintaining the emotional well-being of the school community, fostering resilience, and ensuring that individuals have the necessary support to navigate their grief. By addressing the emotional and psychological needs of the campus, the Crisis Team helps restore a sense of normalcy and promotes a supportive environment where healing can begin.
