Frequently Asked Questions

If I refer a student to CARE will someone have ongoing communication with me? 
No, once a referral is made, there will not be back and forth communication with the referral source, unless they are providing additional information. 

Can parents make a CARE referral? 
Yes, anyone who has concern (that is not emergent) about a student is encouraged to make a referral. 

Is it really confidential? 
Yes, the person making the referral can choose to remain anonymous. The CARE team will not disclose this to the student. 

What is the difference between a CARE Case Manager vs a Clinical Therapist? 
The role of a CARE Case Manager differs significantly from that of a clinical therapist. Please see our “About Us” page to learn more.

What should I expect at a meeting?  
If you’re meeting with a CARE Case Manager for the first time, it’s natural to feel some uncertainty or stress. Learn more about what to expect on our “About Us” page
