BC3 C.A.R.E. Team
We're here to help - because your safety and well-being matter.
The C.A.R.E. (Campus Assessment Response & Evaluation) Team at BC3 supports students who may be experiencing distress or displaying concerning behavior. Our goal is to help before a situation becomes a crisis—through early outreach, care, and connection.
We work together as a college community to keep BC3 a safe, supportive place to learn and grow.
Is this an emergency?
The C.A.R.E. Team is not an emergency response team.
If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent help:
- Call BC3 Campus Police: 724.287.8711 x8450
- Or dial 9-1-1
When Should You Submit a Concern?
Trust your instincts. If something feels “off,” it’s okay to say something. The earlier we know, the sooner we can help.
You can report:
- Unusual, erratic, or disruptive behavior
- Sudden extended absences from class
- Alarming themes in writing or speech
- Statements about harming oneself or others
- Anything that causes concern for someone’s safety or well-being
When in doubt, fill it out. It’s always better to report than to ignore a concern.
