AIMS

A Resource for Student Success and Campus Safety

The Assessment, Intervention, and Management of Safety (AIMS) Team is a multidisciplinary campus threat assessment and behavioral intervention group that guides the college community in effectively assessing and addressing threatening and/or concerning behaviors.

AIMS strives to assist the campus in intervening before behaviors reach a critical level.

Purpose of AIMS

• Conduct threat assessments.
• Coordinate a network of existing resources.
• Focus on prevention and early intervention in situations where students are distressed, disruptive, harmful or threatening to the community.
• Support and advise individuals who experience concerning or potentially threatening behaviors.
• Educate and empower constituents through on-campus training and consultation to recognize, report, and effectively address aberrant, dangerous, threatening and concerning behaviors.
• Collect, assess, and track information about behaviors.
• Plan and implement interventions, follow up, and monitor recommendations.
• Provide recommendations to appropriate campus constituents in order to manage situations and behaviors, preferably before they escalate to become threats or acts of violence.
• Provide guidance and best practices for preventing violence and providing supportive services to the campus community in response to acts of violence.
