CARE Team - NMU Wellbeing

The CARE (Case Administration and Resource Education) Team prides itself on supporting students in their time of need, furthering NMU’s ongoing commitment to wellbeing. The CARE Team is not a disciplinary entity. Students who get referred to the CARE Team receive support, guidance, and resources. The CARE Team meets bi-weekly to provide a safe and supportive environment for members of the university community by offering support and resources to students of concern and guidance to campus stakeholders.

Mission Statement: The CARE team is an appointed campus-wide group of staff responsible for identifying, assessing, and responding to concerns and/or disruptive behaviors by students who struggle in any of the eight WellBeing dimensions (physical, social, financial, career, emotional, environmental, intellectual, and/or spiritual), or who present a risk to the health or safety of the university or its members.  

Refer an NMU student if you notice:        

• Significant changes in behavior, mood, or performance
• Extended absence from class/work/activites without explanation
