Care Team
Seattle Central's Care Team is a cross-campus team that meets on a regular basis to cultivate a campus culture of connectedness, awareness, responsiveness, and engagement for the health and well-being of our students.
The Care team’s mission is to provide safe and dignified spaces for students experiencing physical or emotional distress through collaboration, information collection, risk assessment, and intervention.

What and When to Report
In life-threatening emergencies, call 911. On how to handle behaviors or situations of concern, click here for guidance Report Concerns: What to do and when.
Submit a Care Report to report any behavior that causes you concern or may make others feel unsafe. We encourage you to reach out to a Care team member if you are unsure whether to report the behavior of concern or just want to inform so we can monitor patterns of behavior.
If you report a behavior/situation of concern, please be prepared to share:
- Your contact information
- Name/any known information about the student you are referring
- Summary of the observed behavior/situation or concern, including when and where it occurred
- Any attempts to intervene, manage, or address the behavior
- Other information you believe may be important
What Happens After I Make A Report?
After reviewing a Care Report, a member of the Care team will contact the reporting party and/or the student as appropriate to offer support and resources.
