Helping Students in Distress
If this is a true emergency, call 911.
Lakeshore is committed to providing a safe, nurturing learning environment for all. We prioritize the welfare, safety, and security of our students, faculty, and staff. To support this commitment, a team of faculty and staff is in place to respond when a potential threat is identified.
The CARE Team serves the Lakeshore College community by assessing, responding to, and evaluating disruptive, concerning, or threatening behaviors. The team also works to identify individuals who may need support, guidance, or intervention and connects them with appropriate campus and community resources.
This interdisciplinary team provides a centralized system for employees and students to refer high-risk situations. The goal is to help individuals move from a state of distress or risk to one of safety and stability.
