Grief Intervention for Students
The University Community Response Team (UCRT) is an interdisciplinary group of University of Minnesota campus and community professionals who provide brief grief intervention to groups of students impacted by the loss of a fellow student. The focus of these interventions is to provide an emotionally supportive holding space to process the loss, provide psychoeducation around grief and loss, and to provide professional counseling referrals when and if appropriate. Examples of groups served include residence halls, classes, academic departments, student organizations, and athletic teams. Team members are drawn from mental health professionals, community clergy members, and student affairs professionals.
If you (or someone you know) is having a mental health crisis and/or is in immediate danger, please call 911.
Dangerous crisis situations include suicidal behaviors or threats, homicidal behavior or threats, irrational dangerous behavior, or excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs. If you are not sure whether the situation represents immediate danger, err on the side of caution and place the call.
