Colleges & Universities: Enterprise Community Safety Solutions
Empowering staff to assess, prevent, and respond to trauma through technology, training, and support
Now is the time to address trauma
Unfortunately, it’s only growing worse.
There’s been a surge in mental health issues as well as an increase in the number of students entering college with pre-existing mental health conditions. These factors—paired with the stress of academic responsibilities, social pressures, and newfound independence—contribute to dangerous and unpredictable situations.
Addressing trauma and mental health on college campuses is no longer an option: it is a requirement. When it comes to the safety and future of our students, our faculty, and our campuses, waiting is not a solution.
At the Center for Trauma Informed Practices (CTIP), our team has a proven track record of leading public and community safety initiatives across the country. With 20+ years of experience, we are at the forefront of training professionals in behavioral assessment and mental health. Our proprietary software systems are built to seamlessly connect users while fostering collaboration between systems and departments, creating faster and more accurate communication when it matters most.
Together, we can create a supportive, nurturing, and proactive environment that promotes the mental well-being of all students, and of everyone in our communities.
Information is power. Collaboration is powerful.
Developed from the need to facilitate rapid cross-departmental and cross-organizational collaboration, CTIP’s Outreach Platform is a patented solution that improves communication, centralizes case management, and secures information-sharing among trained Threat Assessment and Trauma Response practitioners and partners. Using our software, you can take action with confidence, knowing that the right tools, technology, and training are all available in one place. Get big picture insights. Track response activities. Identify and resolve threats. Create the campus and community you want.
OUTREACH: CASE MANAGEMENT & COLLABORATION
Case Management and Collaboration features support the end-to-end management of assessments, interventions, risk concerns, interviews, data collection, and actions across stakeholder groups. As a result, you can access real-time updates, notifications, analysis, and collaboration tools all in one place to more effectively assess risk and mitigate the potential impact of trauma.
OUTREACH: PRACTITIONER TOOLS
As a CTIP practitioner, we also empower you with our additional Trends and Critical Periods tools, which seamlessly connect to the Outreach platform. With Trends, you gain real-time access to actionable surveys featuring commentary from users and trained persons detailing what they are seeing in their communities from a threat, risk, and trauma standpoint. With Critical Periods, you gain a dynamic view of prior major incidents that may be influencing what you are currently seeing on campus, giving you the ability to better prepare and take swift action.
OUTREACH: REFERRAL & REPORTING
Utilize CTIP’s referrals and reporting feature to better identify and prevent threats while expanding access to frontline personnel. Putting referred concerns into a workflow for campus safety teams to help assess and prevent traumatic events. Additionally, Outreach can integrate into existing anonymous tips systems that can be connected into the Outreach referral workflow.
