BALTIMORE â This fall Johns Hopkins University will assemble a Behavioral Health Crisis Support Team to serve students, faculty, staff, and community members experiencing a crisis on or near its Baltimore campuses.
This pilot program will first launch around Homewood and then expand to the universityâs other Baltimore campuses.
âIt became clear that many of the calls being addressed by Campus Safety and Security could be more effectively and appropriately handled by behavioral health clinicians,â said JHU President Ronald J. Daniels.

Baltimore City s indoor and outdoor mask mandate will remain in effect, for now, Mayor Brandon Scott said Monday afternoon.
Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzriasa said the mask mandate will remain until 65% of adults have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The mayor said 33% of city residents are fully vaccinated: That means the other two-thirds are not. We must remain strong and smart as we fight our way to the end of this pandemic, Scott said.
