Anyone can refer a student to the Care Team via this form, including Western employees, students, family members, and others who may believe an individual might benefit from additional resources and support. Often times, people being referred to Care Team are exhibiting extreme distress or engaging in harmful or disruptive behaviors.
The ultimate objective of the Care Team is to assist students and the Western campus community to move from a state of distress and increased risk to a condition of safety and security. Referrals are reviewed during normal business hours and are not monitored after hours, on weekends, or during official college holidays.
If you or someone you love is feeling distressed or overwhelmed, call, text, or chat 988 for judgement-free support 24/7 or reach out to Western's Counseling and Case Management Department during normal business hours. It's free and confidential.
For emergency or urgent situations involving immediate risk or threat to safety, security or health, please call 911 and then contact Campus Community Safety at 608-785-9191.
