TCU’s Comprehensive Collaborative Care Model (CCCM) can help institutions to improve their effectiveness in addressing the growing nationwide campus mental health crisis.  CCCM has determined that varied, dedicated systems of care are better for students — and for staff—than traditional counseling models. TCU secured a grant from the Department of Health & Human Services to fund a crisis and triage team, staffed by therapists with no scheduled caseload. This allowed students to receive care on a walk-in basis at the time of crisis, while allowing other counselors to maintain regular caseloads.  In addition to counseling, TCU now offers a wide range of peer support communities, including grief, eating and body image issues, depression and anxiety, and recovery.  Learn how your college can used this comprehensive collaborative approach to better serve your campus community.
