AIMS members act as a bridge to people, services and resources that can solve problems. In other words, we provide triage, but not treatment. For example, AIMS can locate people off-campus who give professional advice, and we will pay the expenses involved. AIMS hears a variety of student concerns. For example: My roommate drinks almost every day, but still does well on exams. I’ve had to bring my friend home after a party twice. He doesn’t remember anything he did, but he makes me promise not to tell anyone. I spend a couple of hours surfing the web every night. One of my classmates always goes to the bathroom for a long time when we go out to eat. My credit card balance keeps getting bigger. My friend got a good Pharmacology grade, but when I told him he was abusing drugs, he told me “I know how to use them.” I’ve begun smoking, and I like it. I started because it helps me study. My roommate hasn’t been to class in awhile, and she jokes about “just giving everything up.”
