Student CARE Team
The CGCC CARE team assists students facing life challenges that hinder their success or the success of others. Composed of representatives from key campus departments, the team evaluates risks and creates a coordinated response plan to support the student while addressing safety concerns.
The CARE Team is committed to the following:
- Identifying students of concern who need extra support
- Assessing the most appropriate way to intervene and support a student
- Addressing student behaviors that impact the college community
- Addressing behavior that interferes with student learning
- Intervening so a student may achieve academic and personal success
- Balancing the needs of an individual student with the needs of the college community
Report a Concern
All members of the college community are encouraged to report a concern. By making a report, you show that you care about the student and the community. Your report activates a network of support for the student and also promotes safety in our environment. Students who exhibit the following behaviors should be referred to the CARE team:
- distressed following attempts by you and others to be helpful
- increasingly isolated, unkempt, irritable, or disconnected
- disruptive in learning environments
- deteriorating academic performance
- expressions of hopelessness or helplessness
- significant and marked changes in behavior or mood
- thoughts of suicide or other acts of self-harm
- threats or displays of aggression directed toward themself or others
- inability to care for themself
- reports food or housing insecurity
