The Care Team
Here at Brandeis, we all have to look out for each other. If someone you know seems to be exhibiting harmful behavior, doing strange things or just not acting like themselves, you should get in touch with us, the Care Team.

What is the Care Team?
In order to promote the safety and health of all Brandeis students, the Care Team evaluates and addresses student behavior that is concerning, and coordinates the resources of the university to intervene and provide necessary supports.
Examples of Concerning Behavior
- Personal safety such as expressions of violence, talk of or observed self-harm, stalking/monitoring of others, significant substance abuse
- Personal/emotional distress such as hopelessness or helplessness, changes in concentration, mood, energy, social connections, appetite, sleep, and hygiene
- Academic distress such as significant decline in attendance, unresponsiveness to outreach, or sudden decline in academic performance
- Any risks to the well-being of an individual student or others in the Brandeis community
