Faculty Response Toolkit by University of Washington Tacoma (Mass Violence and Sexual Violence)
These two-page toolkits, developed by the University of Washington Tacoma, give faculty on campus sample statements to share in class as a response to current events surrounding sexual violence or events of mass violence. The sexual violence toolkit also lists confidential and non-confidential campus resources for students to be shared in tandem with the faculty statements. The mass violence toolkit also provides written content developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) to help students manage distress in the aftermath of an event of mass violence.

SIGMA Threat Management
SIGMA helps colleges and universities develop and implement a threat assessment capacity that fits within their unique cultures and that is effective in both preventing violence and helping persons in need. They train higher education institutions on how to establish and operate a threat assessment team (or add threat assessment capabilities to an existing team) and how to identify, investigate, evaluate, and intervene with persons and situations that raise concern on campus. For institutions with existing threat assessment teams, they help evaluate and enhance current procedures and resources to be consistent with the new national standard. SIGMA consults on individual threat cases and provides guidance on crafting or revising institutional policies and procedures to facilitate effective threat assessment and collaborative case management.

CAMS – Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality
CAMS is first and foremost a clinical philosophy of care. Developed 30 years ago, it is a therapeutic framework for suicide-specific assessment and treatment of a patient’s suicidal risk. Multiple clinical trials in the U.S. and internationally have proven the effectiveness of CAMS. It is a flexible approach that can be used across theoretical orientations and disciplines for a wide range of suicidal patients across treatment settings and modalities.
ASSIP – Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program
Attempted suicide is the main risk factor for suicide. The Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) described in this manual is an innovative brief therapy that has proven in published clinical trials to be highly effective in reducing the risk of further attempts. ASSIP is the result of the authors’ extensive practical experience in the treatment of suicidal individuals. The emphasis is on the therapeutic alliance with the suicidal patient, based on an initial patient-oriented narrative interview. The four therapy sessions are followed by continuing contact with patients by means of regular letters.
This clearly structured manual starts with an overview of suicide and suicide prevention, followed by a practical, step-by-step description of this highly structured treatment. It includes numerous checklists, handouts, and standardized letters for use by health professionals in various clinical settings.
American Red Cross
The Red Cross has a number of resources available related to response after a natural disaster or emergency. Guidance includes information on how best to recover emotionally from these incidents. These resources may help you as you build your own emergency response protocols on campus.

JED Recommendations: Emergency Response Protocols
FOLLOW CRISIS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE:
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTOCOLS
This is one of two major objectives in the Follow Crisis Management Procedure Domain
Under this objective, schools may take the following action steps:
- Develop an “At Risk” or “Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)” to collect and respond to reports of students of concern. Ensure coordination between BIT or “At Risk” team and:
- Counseling and health services
- Substance abuse office
- Conduct office
- Promote information about how to report/get help for an emergency for both daytime and after-hours
- Promote 24/7 crisis phone (and/or chat line) through campus resources or local/national services
- Implement a case management system to help facilitate clinical follow up and continuity of care for students of concern. A case management system can be used to:
- provide follow-up for students who have been hospitalized
- provide follow-up for students who are served by the behavioral intervention team or “at risk” team
- Develop/refine a family notification policy, compliant with FERPA, to be used in emergency situations
- Schools “may disclose personally identifiable information from an education records to appropriate parties, including parents of an eligible student, in connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals.” 34 C.F.R. § 99.36
