Abstract

In this article we describe an attempt to meet a university community's needs for emergency mental health services through the establishment of a student‐operated telephone emergency service. The service provides an interesting model for use of nonprofessionals in mental health services, in which the professional functions primarily as a trainer and consultant rather than offering direct services. We describe the structure of the center and then discuss further innovations and projects.
