Counseling & Crisis Resources
BISD is fortunate to have an amazing and supportive counseling team and a social worker to assist our students. However, if a student needs assistance outside of school, here are organizations that can provide help in times of crisis.
These organizations are not overseen by the Bainbridge Island School District and as a result, the organizations are not subject to the policies and procedures of BISD. It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to research and evaluate the organization prior to using their services.
