CCA CARES
The mission of the CCA Cares program is to prevent, intervene, and manage challenging situations that arise for members of the college community. We aim to identify underlying causes of such potential harm so that preventative action may benefit the students and the college community as a whole. Our team will meet with all individuals involved in the submission of a CCA Cares form to:
- Provide support
- Connect with resources & referrals
- Follow-up as needed to come to a resolution

Our team follows up and works with any CCA community members who violate or engage with the following policies and/or procedures:
