How CARE Works

Any concerned individual can refer a student who may be experiencing academic, personal or emotional challenges or who may be demonstrating concerning or disruptive behavior to the CARE Team by submitting a CARE referral form. Submitting a referral simply means you have a concern about a student's well-being. Receipt of this form initiates the CARE outreach process.

CARE referrals are reviewed during normal business hours by people trained to assess and act. A CARE Team case manager conducts an initial assessment on every CARE referral. In many cases, the outcome is to offer support and resources to either the individual who reports the concern, the student of concern or both. In most cases, the student of concern will be contacted and invited to meet with a CARE case manager. During the meeting, student and case manager collaborate to determine what resources, referrals or services might best meet the student's needs and goals. Each situation is different and requires an individualized approach. Case managers typically meet with a student several times in person and check-in with a student periodically throughout the academic year. 



During the initial meeting case managers typically:

  • Assess student well-being in terms of emotional, social, economic, familial, or medical challenges affecting day-to-day living
  • Provide consultation and education
  • Connect students with helpful academic, social and emotional support and resource providers
