Gavilan College CARE Team

WHAT WE DO

Gavilan College’s Care Team promotes student success by  helping students, faculty, and staff cultivate a safe, supportive, and healthy learning and working environment by using the “See Something. Say Something. Do Something” approach. 

The Care Team is a resource for the Gavilan Community offering training on ways to address assisting distressed students, as well as educational restorative solutions that promote campus well-being. 

The Care Team also addresses behavioral intervention by  assessing and supporting students of concern and by providing resources available so students in need. 

Gavilan College depends on its community to identify and report behaviors of concern so that the College can provide assistance and support to distressed students, faculty and staff member. 

If you see something, say and do something about it – report any concerning behavior or suspicious activity by using the Care Team Incident/Referral Reporting Form. 

How the Care Team Process Works/Guiding Principles for CARE

The Care Team evaluates and addresses student behavior that may be inappropriate or concerning, and coordinates the resources of the District to intervene and provide necessary support. 

The Care Team accomplishes these objectives in the following manner:

  • Receives information about students of concern and discuss concerning behaviors.
  • Provides consultation, support, and responds to faculty and staff
  • The Care Team utilizes the NaBITA Risk Rubric tool to enable consistency of classification and response to provide goal-oriented and strengths-based assessment, intervention, and coordination of services to students experiencing academic, personal, or medical difficulties in order to assist them in removing barriers to success and increasing their holistic well-being
  • Coordinates follow-up, ensuring that services and resources are provided in a timely and effective manner.
  • Maintains confidentiality and handles all matters discreetly and tactfully.
  • The Care team recognizes training and education is as important as case management.

 Protocols Guiding our Practice

  1. Assessment
  2. Outreach to the Student
  3. Delivering Services

The Care Team process does not replace faculty classroom management, disciplinary processes, and/or College Security response/procedures to incidents.
