Your Northeast CARE Team Can Help

(Campus Assessment, Response and Evaluation)

The CARE Team provides faculty, staff, students, families, or any other individual a resource to contact if they have concerns about a student's well-being. Our goal is to provide consultation, advocacy, resources, and education to help facilitate individual success and cultivate a safe campus environment.

How CARE Works

Any concerned individual can refer a student who may be experiencing academic 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. The CARE Team 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 team member. During the meeting, student and CARE member 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. Team members typically meet with a student several times in person and check-in with a student periodically throughout the academic year.
