SCC CAREs FAQs

If you feel there is an immediate threat, call your local police department, or call 911 and tell dispatch if and where you are on campus.

To make a referral, go to the CCR Report page. You will be asked for basic information about the student, how to contact you (in case the CARE Team has follow-up questions) and for a description of the incident or behaviors that prompted the referral.

The CARE Team is a cross-functional assessment group of professionals across all SCC campus locations that responds to students in need or in apparent/potential distress. The CARE Team will provide a means to report and/or to identify and monitor student wellness concerns or behaviors that may be troubling and to engage students sooner, rather than later. Early engagement assures these students can receive needed referrals or other appropriate assistance and treatment. The CARE Team functions to:

• Collect information from students, faculty, staff, and the College community about students who demonstrate a potential need through current or past behavior, conduct or expression.
• Evaluate collected information against a standard of care response and rubric.
• Prevent possible harm by providing support and initiating appropriate intervention/referral based on evaluation.

How will the CARE referral process help me? Because of a CARE Team referral, a student will:

1. Be able to articulate campus resources, supports and services that are applicable to their needs.
2. Have an understanding of their concerning behaviors and how those behaviors affect themselves and our community.
3. Be able to identify positive/healthy changes in their behavior.
