Department Summary

Case Management Services (CMS) both prevents risk and promotes students' well-being at UCLA by providing support for those who are in distress or are causing distress among the community.

Students of concern are referred to Case Managers and are empowered to address their needs through receiving guidance on policies and procedures and linkage to campus resources.

This resource navigation requires regular collaboration with campus constituents so that students receive appropriate assistance.

At times, students' behaviors can impact the campus community. In these instances, Case Managers meet with campus departments and offer suggestions to address concerns and provide on-going support as needed.

Case Managers elevate students at risk for harming themselves or others to appropriate emergency responders and assist with follow up support as needed once the emergency is resolved.

Case Managers serve on and support the work of the Consultation and Response Team, which is UCLA's student behavioral intervention team.

CMS engages in training and outreach to educate campus partners on how to identify, respond to, and refer students in distress.

Position Summary

Under the direction of the Director, Case Management Services, the Case Manager is responsible for developing and implementing a case management system to coordinate, facilitate, and monitor programs and services for undergraduate and graduate students experiencing distress.

The Case Manager will facilitate crisis intervention during regular business hours for students who are at risk for harming themselves or others.

The Case Manager collaborates with UCLA Consultation and Response Team to support and assist distressed students. Based on operational needs, this position may support specific student populations based on the needs of the campus and the department.
