Co-Response Initiatives to Address Behavioral Health Issues and De-escalate Situations

Although it’s long been the practice in police departments across the U.S., universities are just now implementing response models that combine the expertise of the officer and a behavioral health specialist to de-escalate situations and help link individuals with behavioral health issues to appropriate services both on- and off-campus. Co-response teams provide the critical on-site collaborative response and intervention needed by utilizing a variety of skills involving clinical assessment, crisis intervention and de-escalation, lethality assessment, safety planning, consultation, and referral. 

Gather your campus police, behavioral health specialists, and other critical response team members and join us as our expert presenter shares how she combined her current role as the Assistant Director at the University of Florida’s Police Department and national experience in Psychological First Aid and Crisis Intervention Team Training to create a Co-Response Team Model on her campus. She addresses how as our global understanding of mental health, crisis intervention, de-escalation, and trauma reactions grow, campuses and communities must explore ways in which they can better assist community members and law enforcement officers towards the most successful outcomes when responding to a call.

Take advantage of the unique position your officers and behavioral health specialists are in to collaboratively provide early identification and intervention and to ensure appropriate response when an incident occurs. Allow for a healthier student body, a safer campus community, and an increase in student retention and graduation rates.

  • Explore the need for greater police/mental health collaboration on your campus — learn how to establish a co-response team and investigate the specific considerations that should be made to best fit your unique campus needs.
  • Recognize the changing profile of college students and its impact on their mental health — understand the positive impact a co-response team can have to de-escalate a situation before it becomes a full-blown crisis.

  • Create a campus co-response team that utilizes a trauma-informed lens when interacting with the campus community — increase understanding of the impact of those who have experienced trauma — through an inclusion, diversity, equity, and access lens so you can provide physical, psychological, and emotional safety to a community member in crisis.
