Strategy: Call for
help
Purpose/goal:
See that the situation is handled by those best able to cope.
Make sure that something is done, while acknowledging that you do not have
the skill or capacity to handle it.
Tips:
For this to work in the moment, you need the ability to summon help
immediately, such as a cell phone, and will likely have to do what you
can to keep the situation from deteriorating until help arrives. Seeking
help after the fact is the same as reporting the incident.
Example:
- Situation #6
You see a student who
appears so drunk he or she can barely walk stumbling towards a car
parked nearby, keys in hand.
Response: Call the Campus Police and ask them to come immediately
to prevent the student from driving off. Then go talk to the student
to delay his/her departure until the police arrive.
- Situation #8
Separately the two people who live (or work) in adjacent
rooms across the hall from you have complained to you about each other. You
hear them start to argue loudly in the hall.
Response: Alert
the GRT (or supervisor) to the incident brewing in the hall.
