How to Help a Friend
Give them the resources above.
Seize the Awkward: Learn how to and what to say to a friend who seems to be struggling.
Speak to an adult: It is not “telling on your friend,” it is out of concern and will help.
ACCESS Helpline
The district participates in the Onondaga County program ACCESS. It includes a liaison from ACCESS – Coordinated Care Services who is responsible for taking referrals to support students and their families when child welfare concerns are present but do not rise to the level of calling the state’s Child Protective Services. Families can call 211. Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The district is not responsible for defraying the costs associated with any portion of this program.
Phone: 211

Mental Health Referral
The Fayetteville-Manlius School District encourages our community to report or self-report any student, faculty, or staff who may be experiencing a personal challenge so that we can provide support to that person. Please note that any referral made via this form will result in outreach by school staff.
