The CARE Team is tasked with intake of referrals from the community, reviewing them to determine the level of risk or concern, and then developing action plans to address the risk

Any member of the university community may become aware of a person of concern or situation that is causing serious anxiety, stress, or fear. It is the responsibility all RUSM faculty, colleagues, and students to immediately refer any situation that could possibly result in harm to anyone at the university.
