CARES (Concern Awareness REsponse Support) Referral Form
The purpose of the KSC CARES program is to provide a means for early intervention of at-risk students through collaboration with campus departments, faculty, and staff. The KSC CARES Team is a multi-disciplinary body of stakeholders from across the College who receive referrals pertaining to students of concern, collects additional information and identifies and enacts appropriate strategies for addressing the situation. Students exhibiting behaviors that are of concern in relation to their academic, personal, physical, and emotional well-being should be referred to this team of professionals. The CARES Team is not meant to be the sole mechanism of communication and will not take the place of services provided by the Counseling Center, Student Conduct, Campus Safety, or other established student services. Anyone (faculty, staff, or student) can submit a CARES referral form.
