A department within Student Affairs
The CARE Team (Crisis, Assessment, Response, Education) is comprised of diverse representatives from key student support offices across the University (ex. Tuttleman Counseling Services, Disability Resources and Services, TUPD, etc.). The members of the CARE Team meet weekly. Referrals to the CARE Team are coordinated through the Case Management Staff in the Dean of Students Office.
The CARE Team will collect available information pertaining to the student and the situation from multiple sources in order to determine the most appropriate course of action. The CARE Team’s role is to determine effective strategies for addressing the concern and identifying the responsible parties for enacting those strategies.
*The CARE Team is not for emergencies. If there is an immediate threat to a student (either through self-harm or interpersonal violence) or the community, please call the Temple University Police Department at (215) 204-1234.
