CARE Goals

• To proactively build and sustain community with a flexible, collaborative campus wide team:  receptive to communication about behaviors and situations signaling student distress or campus disruption and responsive to initiating appropriate campus and community referral.
• To help and support students via educational rather than punitive means, according to established protocols and transparent procedures while protecting the privacy and rights of individuals.
• To provide consultation, referral and support to employees.
• To discuss observed and reported trends in behaviors and situations and plan preventive actions.
• To provide awareness of resources as we work together to promote student and community success.
• To review and evolve CARE team functions and protocols while identifying and refining best practices.
