Members of the Radford University community should take any threat seriously. Reporting behaviors that may represent a threat to self, others or the safety of the University community to the appropriate authorities is encouraged. Reporting helps to ensure the appropriate administrators have the information necessary to do their jobs. The goal is to identify and reduce potential threats before they result in harm.
As with many of life's problems, early intervention is often better. A person who receives appropriate help sooner, rather than later, may be less likely to experience more severe symptoms or cause harm to self or others. Staff seek to assure that campus service offices are aware of students in need of support and that these students have access to the appropriate campus services.
If you are unsure what do to, contact the Radford University Police (RUPD), Dean of Students Office, Student Counseling Services, Human Resources, or Office of Emergency Preparedness. By knowing the Warning Signs, and the resources that are available, you will be able to better identify and respond to a situation.
Like a crisis, you need to:
