Newest Strategies to Promote Health & Address Needs In response to students’ increasing mental health needs, the Divisions of Student Affairs has implemented a number of strategies to provide more effective and efficient services. These include:
• Creation of a 1st 50 Days Program to connect new students with opportunities for involvement and campus support resources.
• Implementation of MDLIVE, a telephone triage service to connect students with a medical professional after regular business hours.
• Launch of ProtoCall, an after-hours service to provide students immediate access to a mental health counselor.
• New walk-in system where students can come to the UCC and be seen without a long delay.
Student Crises The number of student crises has risen in recent years. The Florida Mental Health Act (Baker Act) provides emergency services and places sudents in temporary custody for mental health evaluation and treatment. The Florida Substance Abuse Impairment Act (Marchman Act) provides emergency services for substance abuse assesment and stabilization.
