When they receive a CARE referral, the CARE members review the information provided, gather more information as needed, and determine the best strategy for following up. If you submitted a referral, a CARE representative may contact you for more information. Depending on the situation, you may not receive specific information about how the CARE team plans on responding.
Examples of responses:
- The CARE team may determine that there’s no need for further action but will monitor the situation.
- A CARE representative will circle back around to the referrer with suggestions and ways to respond to the concerning behavior.
- A CARE representative may reach out to the individual of concern directly to provide support resources and individual interventions.
- If the situation requires immediate action, like if the individual is an immediate threat of harming themself or others, the CARE team may coordinate with Campus Security or the Boise Police Department to help respond.
