"The County Department of Mental Health?s School Threat Assessment Response Team (START) program has launched a new educational campaign that features social media ads and in-school posters to encourage high school students to contact START if they witness concerning or threatening behavior by a fellow student. The START program consists of mental health professionals who work with schools and law enforcement and respond to calls about concerning behavior that could potentially lead to school violence. When contacted about a student who might pose a threat to themselves or others, the team comes in to assess the level of risk and provide targeted intervention to the student."

You can watch more stories like this on Channel 92 or 94 on most cable systems, or anytime here [ [link removed] ]. Catch up on LA County Close-Up?here [ [link removed] ].

Los Angeles County Public Works is undertaking its?"Equity in Infrastructure Initiative"?which includes its recent website launch.

Your feedback will be used to help inform recommendations to improve the infrastructure of all LA County communities. All County Residents are invited to share their thoughts. Completing the survey will take approximately 10?15 minutes.
