Hiram Care Team

The Hiram College Coordinated Assistance Resource and Education (CARE) team is a multidisciplinary group of staff members who meet regularly to identify, monitor and, if necessary, provide support for students in an integrated fashion. This support is focused on identifying resources and services that will lead to the academic and personal well-being of the student.

The CARE team also serves as a resource to those who may have questions about how to approach and address a particular situation. If you are concerned about the physical or emotional well-being of a student in any way, please let the CARE team know by using the following link to submit a Concerning Behavior Report.

This form is NOT designed for emergency response situations. Non-emergency referrals will be reviewed during normal business hours and are not typically monitored after hours, on weekends, or during official College holidays. If this is an emergency that involves an imminent risk of harm to self or others, please call 911 and report the specific behavior. If it is safe to do so, you should also call Campus Safety at 330.569.3211.
