Crisis & Prevention Resources
Crisis Prevention Team Purpose
The purpose of the Crisis Prevention Team is to utilize a collaborative approach to prevent and monitor any potential situations that may pose a threat to the health and safety of our students and the Cuyamaca campus. The Crisis Prevention Team will provide input to address these issues and determine if any follow-up is necessary to protect the safety of the students and the campus. In addition, this team, which can also be utilized as a resource for faculty and staff, can also provide educational training to the campus.
