The Campus Assistance for Resources and Empowerment (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 School of Medicine Deacons, and want to ensure their safety, wellbeing, and success by providing this additional support.
The CARE Team educates the campus community about how to identify distressing or concerning behaviors, and how to promptly report those concerns.
