Guttman is committed to providing a safe environment for the community. The College’s CARE team was established to identify, assess and monitor students displaying levels of distress, disruption or concerning behaviors that might warrant timely intervention. The team’s primary goal is to provide threat assessments, early intervention and support before a crisis arises.
Behaviors to refer to the CARE Team include, but are not limited to, unusual or bizarre behavior, passive expression of aggressive thoughts, psychological or behavioral concerns, physical/sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, stalking, disruptiveness, behavior that may be dangerous to oneself or others, or other behaviors that raise concern.
