This is not an emergency; however, the student is
showing signs of distress, and the issue is impacting
multiple areas of the student鈥檚 life. I am concerned
about them & want to get them more help soon.
Consider the nature of the student鈥檚 distress and
context-appropriate resources for consultation. Assist
the student in connecting with Counseling (574-239-
8303). Seek referral or consultation with Student
Affairs or OSS. See Resources chart for additional
support. Submit a CARE TEAM referral. When in
doubt, if you feel the situation is an emergency and
can鈥檛 wait, call HCC Safety & Security at 574-239-
8312 to consult.

Refer to appropriate resources. Encourage the
student to set up an appointment or assist them in
doing so. See the Resources list. Submit a CARE
TEAM referral form, depending on the situation
