What is C.A.R.E?
The Concern Assess Respond Evaluate (CARE) Team is a multi-disciplinary body of stakeholders from across the University which receives referrals pertaining to students of concern, collects additional information, and then identifies and enacts appropriate strategies for addressing the situation.
The CARE Team strives to:
- Provide early detection and recommend preventative and purposeful individualized intervention to students who may require additional support.
- Link to appropriate resources and make referrals as deemed necessary
- Provide consultation and support to faculty, staff, parents, and students in assisting students who display concerning behavior
- Follow up to determine if further intervention is needed, evaluate effectiveness of intervention strategies, and make further recommendations as warranted.
