GVSU Care Team Mission

The mission of the GVSU Care Team is to support students through challenges, connect them to appropriate campus and community resources, promote growth in self-advocacy, and empower students to navigate toward their own solutions. The Care Team works collaboratively across the institution to develop support plans that provide a caring and seamless student learning experience. 

What Does The Care Team Do?

The Care Team's primary function is to help keep the university community safe and to connect distressed students to support services. The Care Team seeks prevention rather than reaction to students in distress. In doing this, the Care Team:

• Gathers and manages reported information from concerned faculty and staff
• Reaches out to students who have been referred to connects them to support services
• Provides faculty and staff with support and intervention resources
