How to Help

Supporting Students in the Moment

This section is designed to help faculty, staff, students, and community members recognize concerning behaviors and know how to respond. While we encourage you to submit a concern report to the CARE Team whenever you have concerns about a student’s well-being, we understand that situations do not always happen during regular business hours or when a referral can be submitted right away.

1

If you are with a student who appears to need immediate support, stay with them if it is safe to do so and help connect them to appropriate resources.

2

During business hours, you may walk the student to the Office of Student Well-Being or meet virtually, where our team can assess the situation, provide support, and help determine the next best steps.

3

If there is an immediate threat to the safety of the student or others, call 911 or Campus Security immediately.

If harm to self or others appears imminent or has already occurred, please contact High Point Security at (719) 680-2119 or dial 911 immediately.

For other non-immediate resources, please visit our online resource hub.
