CARING ADVOCATES and RESPONSIVE ENGAGEMENT TEAM
The mission of the CARE Team is to improve the well-being and success of CSUB students through a campus-wide team response that includes strategizing possible solutions and resources to address the needs of individual students of concern.
The purpose of the CARE Team is to provide a coordinated assessment and response to any students of concern. These efforts consist of but are not limited to, connections to various campus and community resources and case management/follow-up. The CARE Team promotes students’ physical and mental wellness while seeking to retain students who can be successful when issues are assessed, behaviors are addressed, and concerns are taken care of. The collaborative approach among the individuals represented on the CARE Team allows for such proactive management.
