Prevention

CSI has adopted and implemented an alcohol and drug abuse prevention program.

CSI Personal Counseling

Our goal is to create a safe, supportive and affirming environment for all students. Occasionally, students encounter difficulties that challenge their coping skills and undermine their success in academic and personal endeavors.  Such difficulties might include alcohol or substance misuse. Our services provide brief counseling therapy to help students make satisfying career and life choices.

Counseling Services are located upstairs on the East side of the Taylor Building in the Center for Student Support and Connection Room (202) We are open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please call 208-732-6260 or drop by our office for further information or to schedule an appointment. We have Licensed Professional Counselors on staff as well as Master's Counseling Interns, and appointments are available weekdays and weekday evenings.

CSI Campus Assessment Resource Education Team (C.A.R.E)

The College of Southern Idaho Campus Assessment Resource and Evaluation (CARE) Team (Previously known as Threat Assessment and Consultation Team or TACT) is a multidisciplinary campus threat assessment and behavioral intervention team that effectively assesses and addresses threatening and/or concerning behaviors. The goal is to intervene with someone before the behaviors escalate to a critical level. The CARE Team promotes a safe environment for all students, faculty, and staff focused on student learning and student development. The CARE Team Handbook seeks to formalize the college’s processes for greater communication, collaboration, and coordination of concerns regarding behavior.
CSI is committed to providing an environment that is respectful and supportive. If you have a concern that you believe impedes these efforts for you personally, or a friend or an employee, please report that information.
