Red Folder Resources and Training

Welcome to the Red Folder Resources page. With the assistance of many dedicated UCSD administrators, faculty, and staff, we developed our Red Folder, which includes emergency protocols, contacts, and resources to assist you in recognizing and responding to students in distress. Below is a list of our Red Folder and other resource offerings:
