Adi's Act

ADI'S ACT (SB 52) / LEY DE ADI (SB 52)

WHAT IS ADI'S ACT / ¿QUÉ ES LA LEY DE ADI?

Senate Bill 52, also known as Adi’s Act, requires Oregon School Districts to develop comprehensive district Student Suicide Prevention Plans.

These Plans are to include procedural planning, equity and racial equity-centered supports, and a staff training process that explicitly addresses when and how students and families are referred to appropriate mental health and crisis services.

Adi’s Act operates in conjunction with the Student Success Act to ensure that LGBTQ2SIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/non-binary, queer/questioning, two-spirit, intersex, asexual, and the myriad other ways to describe gender identities) youth, foster youth, youth with disabilities, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and tribal communities/members/students and historically and currently underserved youth receive equitable access to services and support.

ODE, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), and Lines for Life have partnered to provide school districts materials supporting the development and continuous improvement of Senate Bill 52 Plans.
