Campus Assessment, Response, and Education (CARE) Team
The CARE Team at NWTC focuses on prevention and early intervention of campus situations involving students experiencing extreme distress or engaging in harmful, threatening, or disruptive behaviors. The team is made up of staff from Student Services, Counseling, Learning, and Security. Team members are trained to recognize and address student conflict management issues. The team may utilize various methods and strategies in dealing with student concerns. Students who meet with this team may be required to meet one-on-one with a team member, may be asked to meet with the entire team, or be referred to a mental health professional, either employed by NWTC, or someone from an outside agency. The end result is to offer the student a plan for success, always mindful of the student’s best interest. The CARETeam adds an element of safety to the College environment.
