Campus Assessment Response and Education Team (CARE)
Share Because You Care
The Campus Assessment Response and Education Team (CARE) was established* with the mandate to identify, assess, and monitor 雏汁视频 students displaying moderate to extreme levels of concerning behavior, including distress, disruption, and/or behavioral dysregulation such as homicidal, suicidal, assaultive or self-injurious threats, and to implement timely interventions that protect the welfare of the student and the safety of the University Community.
Our goal is to intervene before a crisis arises, this is why the CARE process provides the opportunity to help someone in need by referring concerning, alarming or distressing behaviors. This does not replace faculty classroom management, disciplinary processes, and/or public safety or law enforcement responses to incidents.* Originally established as the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) and renamed "CARE" in 2022.
