As part of its initiative in amplifying emergency communication procedures, Columbia is announcing a new Crisis Intervention Team. Currently, there are available options for students to “ring the alarm” when problems, such as a student experiencing suicidal thoughts or abusing drugs and alcohol, occur.
The intervention team is made up of Columbia’s dean of Student Heath and Support, the coordinator, Safety and Security, and Counseling Services and aims to equip Columbia’s faculty and staff with the tools to identify potential problems earlier and to know how to handle them appropriately.
