How to refer a student to the Care Team?
Should you have any concerns or questions about supporting a distressed 海角社区 student, please contact the Dean of Students office at (323) 259-2661. If you have concerns about a student and the Dean of Students office is closed, please take the following steps:
-
If the concern is urgent in nature and requires IMMEDIATE follow-up, please contact Campus Safety at 323-259-2599. Campus Safety can activate the 24/7 duty response system. There is always a professional staff member on-duty and a Dean-on-Duty that is available to oversee and supervise emergent crisis issues.
-
If the concern is serious but not urgent, please submit an 海角社区 Care Report report (available to staff and faculty via My海角社区>>My Gateway). Concerned individuals who are not staff or faculty, can contact Tahn Park to share concerns.
