Nightline is a confidential, nonjudgmental peer counseling hotline. It allows students to get support on any issue from an anonymous counselor who is also an undergraduate student.
Calling
Nightline counselors can be reached at 212-854-7777 every night of the academic year between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.
Counselors
The Nightline counselors are student volunteers and not professionals, though they do undergo a semester-long training process.
Anonymity
In order to maintain anonymity, counselors are prohibited from disclosing their involvement in Nightline to any other Columbia student for the duration of their time with the organization. The callers are not asked to reveal their identity, nor do the counselors have any means of identifying the callers. Since the directors of the organization are publicly known, they do not take calls.
Training
Barnard, Columbia College, and SEAS undergraduates can train to be Nightline counselors. Training takes place every semester. Informational meetings are held in early September and late January. Interested students should attend an info session or e-mail the directors at nightlineinfo@columbia.edu to find out more about the training process.
