 She/Her/Hers

Amanda Menke provides assessment and support for students in crisis via the BHCST Access Line and co-responds onsite with Johns Hopkins Public Safety to people in distress on the Homewood, Peabody and East Baltimore campuses.

As a Lead BHCST Clinician, Amanda also facilitates safe spaces and critical incident responses and provides peer support, consultation, resource connection, and training to the BHCST team.

 Two things Amanda especially enjoys about her work:

• Providing support in the moment when things are overwhelming
• Working ‘non-traditional’ hours because life doesn’t happen according to a schedule
