How You Can SupportCARE Team
The Carlow University CARE Team works with faculty and staff to provide confidential support to promote student well-being, safety and success and advocate for students in or susceptible to high-risk situations.
The CARE Team:
- Investigates relevant reports
- Compiles necessary information
- Retains student confidentiality
What should I report to CARE?
- Unusual or erratic behavior
- Written work or creative expression with troubling themes or references
- Verbal or written threats made by a student toward another student, faculty or staff member or actions that threaten personal safety
- Written or verbal expressions of suicidal ideations or intent
- Abrupt changes in student academic performance, class attendance or engagement
- Basic needs security (food and housing)
What should I not report to CARE?
- Students who have never attended a class. (This should be reported to the Registrar.)
- Academic concerns such as poor test scores. (Academic struggles should be handled internally between faculty and students.)
- Emergency situations such as acute medical or mental health situations that require immediate attention. (Call 911 and the Carlow Police at the emergency number, +1 (412) 578-6007, if immediate emergency response is needed.)
What happens after I file a report?
Once the CARE Team receives a report, staff works to gather as much information as possible to determine if/when an intervention will be necessary, and what kind of intervention. Often students are contacted with information about on- and off-campus resources that can provide assistance.
Other than receiving confirmation that you submitted the report, you will generally not receive further information or updates in order to protect student confidentiality.
