- If the next step is national review, then the Collegiate Reviewer will first reach out to discuss the concerned applicant with the LT director. If they want to move forward, then the Collegiate Reviewer will tell the HUB to move forward with National Review (see below).
- If the next step is to decline the applicant, then follow LT Declination Next Steps.
National Review
Concerns decided on a national level:
| Info |
|---|
In general, we say that all self-harm concerns need to be brought to national review. However, we have had a few national reviews where we uncover that they have struggled with suicidal concerns prior to 6 months ago. As a formality, we had said that all of those still needed a national review before moving forward. The heart behind that was related to how severe the past self-harm struggle was, how close to 6 months ago it occurred, do they still have suicidal thoughts, etc. and to show that we did our due diligence by having multiple eyes on it before acceptance. However, if the Collegiate reviewer finds out after discussing with the local church leader that there are no current self-harm thoughts and a normal acceptance is recommended, then we do not need to present this concern to the National Reviewers. This would be only for those that Collegiate Reviews recommend as normal acceptance (no conditions at all for acceptance) because the self-harm (thoughts or actions) is no longer happening. If self-harm is still somewhat still in the picture and they are recommending conditions, it would still need to come to national review for more eyes to view the situation. |
Those scenarios include, but are not limited to:
- severe depression/anxiety (hospitalized, panic attacks)
- any kind of self harm/abuse (eating disorders, cutting, etc.)
- suicidal thoughts or attempts
- substance abuse (drunkenness, prescription drug abuse, etc.)
- illegal drugs
- sexual addiction
- multiple (more serious) concerns listed
- parental issues

If the Collegiate Reviewer initiates the National Review, lt@reliant.org will receive an email from the HUB that instructs the Reliant LT National Reviewer to begin an email chain with the team of national reviewers listed above as well as adding the Collegiate Reviewer(s) to the email so that they remain in the loop. In the email, the Reliant LT National Reviewer will forward the national review HUB email along with the information copied from the email chain that began during the Collegiate Review with the local church pastor. At the top of the email, it will be stated that we need national approval for this participant and that we need their thoughts on the applicant. The Reliant LT National Reviewer's role is to make sure that everyone has approved. If one national reviewer suggests an additional condition or asks a clarifying question, then it may begin another round of approvals from the whole team. The Reliant reviewer's role is to keep track of all the email responses and make sure that all team members have given a thumbs up before moving forward with the next steps. Once a unified next step from the national review team has been determined, the application will then move to counselor review, accept with conditions or decline the participant. If there was a change in the original conditions presented by the Collegiate Reviewer, the Collegiate Reviewer may want to talk with the local church pastor first who will inform the participant before the accept with conditions email is sent to the participant.
