| Vision: | An open, supportive campus community where the well being of our Kauhale is prioritized. |
| Mission: | The mission of the Hawai'i Community College CARE Team is to promote a safe, healthy and respectful environment for our Kauhale. |
Care Team Purpose
The safety and success of students at Hawaiʻi CC is of critical importance to all of us. To this end, Hawaiʻi CC has developed a team whose central mission is to provide early identification of at-risk behaviors that impact one's ability to be successful and safe on campus. The team receives concerns from the larger community and then ensures that the individual is connected with the appropriate resources. The team works collaboratively and proactively to provide early intervention and assistance to any member of the Kauhale who needs help.
The CARE Team accepts and encourages referrals from anyone connected to Hawaiʻi CC directly or indirectly, including students, faculty, staff, friends, family, and community members.
