Mission Statement

The Jefferson State CARE Team (Communicate, Assess, Refer, Educate) is committed to maintaining individual and overall faculty, staff, and student safety and well-being through pro-active and collaborative prevention, assessment, and intervention.

Purpose

The JeffCARE Team helps find solutions for members of the Jeff State family who may be experiencing academic, social and crisis situations including mental health concerns. Members of the college community can report a concern for a student, faculty, or staff member who might benefit from services. We review these reports to understand each individual’s issue and the on- and off-campus resources that may guide them to success.

The JeffCARE Team steps in to connect students, faculty, and staff members with relevant campus resources and outside agencies. Most times, we may need to communicate with the reporting party to help accurately assess the needs of the individual. The JeffCARE Team will also outreach to the student, faculty, or staff member to understand his/her situation and develop a plan of action leading towards his/her success.

Team Members

The JeffCARE Team is a small, confidential group of campus officials including:
