Concern, Assessment, Response, Evaluation (CARE): Early Intervention and Support for Students
THIS FORM IS NOT USED TO REPORT EMERGENCIES and is only monitored M-F 8:30am- 4:30pm EST. If you need immediate assistance or if you believe a student may pose a threat to the health and safety of themselves or others, call RISD Public Safety immediately at 401-454-6666.
The CARE Network is operated through the division of Student Affairs. Our mission is to serve as a campus resource team dedicated to assisting students who may be in distress or experiencing challenging life circumstances. CARE works to coordinate and/or facilitate consultation and intervention when students face difficulties. The primary focus of the team is to take a proactive approach in identifying and assisting students who are struggling; to provide early intervention, resources, and referrals both on and off campus.
Anyone who has concerns about a student is encouraged to alert the CARE Network by filling out this form. Please note that the CARE Network is bound by FERPA and students can expect their information to remain private between professionals who will assist the student.
