CARE Team

The Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) Team specializes in listening, responding, and connecting. Members follow up with referred individuals to hear their stories, identify their needs, and connect them with the resources and interventions that best suit their individual circumstances and our community at large. We care about our fellow Deacons and want to ensure their safety, wellbeing, and success by providing this additional support. 

In addition, the CARE Team also educates the campus community about how to identify distressing or concerning behaviors and how to promptly report those worries. To learn more about our community education opportunities available for student groups, faculty departments, or staff offices, visit the We Are Wake website.

The CARE Team is designed to facilitate the identification and management of, but not limited to, behaviors, stressors, and mental health concerns. These concerns may present special challenges to University students and the campus community, including faculty and staff, which may disrupt, impede, or interfere with the day-to-day functions of the identified student, community member, or the University. The CARE Team can follow up (directly or indirectly) with the persons who display behaviors of concern and connect them with appropriate resources as warranted.  

The Team is composed of representatives from throughout the University who have specific expertise and professional training in assessing and intervening with individuals whose behaviors, current stressors, and general wellbeing need additional care and support. 

The CARE Team is not tasked with responding to emergencies. If this is an emergency and you are in need of immediate assistance or consultation, contact WFU Police at 336.758.5911 or 911 from a campus phone.
