Services for Individuals
- Problem Assessment: We offer a safe environment in which
to discuss your confidential concerns. CARE staff provides one to
three sessions in which to clarify your problems, set priorities,
and determine appropriate campus and community resources, when needed.
We offer our perspective on what is going on and what plan of action
is needed to address the problems.
- Referral: CARE Services has an extensive and well researched
directory of community resources to draw from in making referrals.
In addition, we have identified and liaison with qualified mental
health and chemical dependency resources within the health plans
available to faculty and staff. We can assist you in finding providers
who can meet your time availability, diversity and other special
needs.
Coworkers or colleagues who are concerned about someone they work
with can also call to discuss how they may assist that person in
getting the help they may need. Many people come to CARE at the
suggestion of a coworker.
