Consultation – Assessment – Referral – Education

������’s Care Teams are cross-divisional crisis management committees that collaboratively assess and coordinate a response to students identified as reasonably posing a potential threat to self, others, or the University community. 

If your concern needs to be addressed immediately and cannot wait 48 hours, call 911 for medical emergencies or the 24-hour crisis hotline at 330-392-1100 or call or text the 24-hour suicide hotline at 988. You can also text "HOPELINE" to 741741.

The CARE Team addresses the following:

• Suicidal behavior
• Emotional instability
• Threats of harm to others
• Severe drug or alcohol-related behavior
