CARES

Overview

The CSM CARES Team is here for Students.

Do you know a student who seems to be struggling? Maybe they appear overwhelmed, withdrawn, or not quite themselves. They might be dealing with stress, sadness, anxiety, frustration, or a sense of isolation or hopelessness.

CSM CARES Referral is designed as a resource for students, faculty, and staff to share concerns they have about a student who may be in distress whether in class, on campus, or online. If you would like someone to reach out to a student, submit a CARES referral.

Please note that CARES is not for urgent matters or emergency situations. The CARES Team reviews CARES referrals during business hours. Our response may be delayed when classes are not in session.
