- To adhere to a formalized protocol for referral, assessment, communication, coordination and intervention.
- To balance student confidentiality and privacy with university need-to-know and emergency communication needs.
- To engage faculty, staff and students and staff in effective response with respect to disruptive and/or distressed students.
