Overview:

The CARE Team is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative effort to identify students who are facing significant personal struggles, in distress, or are identified as students of concern who may benefit from additional support or resources. By utilizing a community approach to foster the well-being of every student, the Muhlenberg community can collectively build a strong and healthy environment.

Mission:

The CARE Team strives to provide preventive, proactive, and early intervention services to identified students through the building of a responsive campus community, the assessment of student risk, active coordination of resources, and formalized follow-up care. 

Accessing Our Team:

You can access the CARE Team by making a referral through the College incident reporting website. Any member of the campus community can use these forms to alert the College to behavior that may be concerning, disruptive, alarming or threatening. If can learn more by reaching out to Director of Student Support Services Michele Paules, LCSW: [email protected].
