CARE Team

The Savannah Technical College CARE Team works to support a safe, secure and supportive environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors. The team takes a proactive and coordinated approach to identifying, assessing and addressing concerning behaviors before they escalate.

The CARE Team is dedicated to the identification, prevention, assessment, management and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral threats that may affect the safety and well-being of the Savannah Tech community.

• Provide a safe physical environment for members of the college community.
• Support a safe and healthy emotional environment.
• Promote peace of mind for students, employees, families and others connected to the college community.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to report behaviors or situations that are disruptive, threatening or concerning, particularly when they may affect someone’s ability to function successfully or safely.

A concern may involve a person or situation that is causing significant anxiety, stress or fear. Reports help the CARE Team evaluate the situation and determine what support or response may be appropriate.

For non-emergency concerns:

In an emergency:
The CARE Team referral process is not intended for emergencies or situations involving an immediate threat of harm to yourself or others.

For an immediate emergency, call 911.

Savannah Technical College Police officers provide law enforcement services across the College’s campuses and can be reached at (912) 443-5200.

The CARE Team will review the concern and coordinate an appropriate response. Depending on the circumstances, actions may include outreach, support services, additional assessment or temporary measures to protect the safety of the college community.

When appropriate, the individual submitting the concern may be kept informed of the response. Faculty and staff should also notify their division chair, dean or supervisor of ongoing concerns.
