The C.A.R.E. Team exists to serve and support the well-being, safety, and success of each member of our community. We show C.A.R.E. by Checking in or Connecting with students, Assisting them accordingly, Referring them to resources, and by Encouraging (or Empowering) them to succeed.

In order for CARE to be effective in this mission, it is important for all members of the community to share information about students of concern. Please utilize the CARE Referral Form below when you observe a member of the Blackburn community behaving in a way that makes you concerned for their well being (physical, mental, and emotional) or their chances for success in their academic, social, or work lives.

When a referral is submitted, it will be sent to the members of the team to assess the situation and assign a case manager to provide outreach to the student. The case manager will work to gather information about the student’s situation and needs, connect the student to resources to better support their success (such as academic coaching, mental health support, Benevolent Beaver funds, or disability accommodations), and connect back to the referral source to share updates (as appropriate) or request additional information.

Questions about this form can be directed to care@blackburn.edu, which is monitored daily (Monday through Friday) by the co-chairs of CARE.
 
DO NOT use this form for EMERGENCY situations. C.A.R.E. is not an emergency response team. Call 911 in the case of an emergency.
