CARE TEAM
The CARE (Concern, Assessment, Response, and Evaluation) Team serves the Lakeshore community by evaluating and responding to disruptive, troubling, or threatening behaviors brought to the attention of the Team. As a part of this work the team also seeks to help identify members of the Lakeshore community who are in need of support, guidance, or other intervention and to refer them to appropriate campus and community resources. This interdisciplinary team provides a centralized system for faculty, staff, students, and parents to refer high-risk student situations. The ultimate objective is to assist students and our community to move from a state of distress and increased risk to a condition of safety and security.
The CARE Team works together to:
• Address concerns of students’ well-being or behavior that may be harmful to oneself, others, or is disruptive or
threatening.
• Regularly monitor, review, and appropriately respond to reports received via email, incident reports or
other regarding potentially harmful, threatening, or disruptive student behavior.
• Triage all notifications of student behavior concerns to identify threat level and/or appropriate action.
• Provide outreach, consultation, appropriate assessment, and/or referral for issues related to concerning
student behaviors.
• Create a unified reporting and tracking system that allows the CARE Team to observe patterns of behavior
and document the discussion, intervention, and recommended plan for identified students.
Anyone can refer a student to the CARE Team via the online care referral form, or
cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?LakeshoreTC&layout_id=2, including Lakeshore employees, students, family members, and others who believe a student might benefit from additional resources and support. Referrals are reviewed during normal business hours and are not monitored after hours, on weekends, or during official college holidays. For emergency or urgent situations involving immediate risk or threat to safety, security, or health, please call 911.
