Welcome!
The Center for Support and Intervention is dedicated to advancing the wellbeing of students and the campus through a multidisciplinary approach to addressing harm and hardship on campus. CSI’s student-centered prevention, reduction, and intervention efforts are concentrated into three separate branches: Case Management Support, Violence and Harm Prevention, and the Collegiate Recovery Program, each offering specialized support programs and services to students, staff, and faculty.
Case Management Support
When a student is going through a tough time, it can be difficult to know what to do – for the student themselves and community members who want to help. Our Case Management Support team helps streamline our community’s ability to respond to concerns and support students navigating significant difficulties by:
- Connecting directly with students and providing individualized resource referrals and support that is tailored to their unique situation, challenges, strengths, and priorities.
- Collaborating with campus partners in receiving, reviewing, and responding to referrals for students – known as Care Reports – to mitigate harm and ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and the campus community.
If you’re concerned about a UC Berkeley student, learn about Referring a Student to our office.
If you’re a student looking for assistance, learn about working with a Case Manager.
Violence Prevention and Harm Reduction
Community safety is essential to a healthy campus community. Our Violence Prevention and Harm Reduction team promotes campus safety and student success through violence prevention & bystander intervention workshops by:
- Providing training directly to students and staff on bystander intervention and community care to create a supportive and thriving student community.
- Developing and implementing harm prevention strategies for the broader campus in collaboration with other campus units.
Learn more about our Violence and Harm Prevention program, including how you can get involved or request a training.
Collegiate Recovery Program
Substance use can significantly impact wellbeing and success, and many students find themselves feeling alone when questioning or trying to change their relationship with alcohol and drugs. The Collegiate Recovery Program promotes belonging and community-based recovery programming by:
- Fostering an inclusive community for students struggling with alcohol and drug use, regardless of financial, cultural, or social barriers.
- Creating a safe space where students can build community, foster solidarity, and combat the stigma associated with recovery.
