Tomcats CARE

Connect to students

How do you connect with students? Do you engage with them, ask questions and understand their needs?

Assess for signs of distress

Does the student appear to be struggling? If so, in what capacity is the student struggling?

Refer to appropriate campus resources

Which referrals may be the most appropriate based upon behaviors you have observed or information you know about the student?

Evaluate your actions

Did you take the appropriate steps to link the student to campus resources? Should you check back with the student? Is there more that could be done to help the student?
