Student Care Network

Mission

The mission of the Student Care Network is to promote safety and wellbeing of the UNO community through our work with students. The team serves as a cross-functional group that shares information and develops support plans for students of concern.

Purpose

The Student Care Network focuses on providing early intervention for any student who has raised concerns and may be at risk of harming either themselves or others, or who pose a significant disruption to the living, learning, or working environment. The network receives and reviews confidential reports of concerning student behavior for the purpose of developing a support plan that mitigates risk and promotes student well-being and success within existing University policies. We do this through collaboration with campus departments, faculty and staff, and off-campus resources.

Team Responsibilities

• Centralize collection of information regarding concerning student behaviors.
• Perform initial review and develop a support plan, within existing University policies, to mitigate risk and promote student wellbeing and success.
• Make recommendations for action and share information with University faculty, staff and others, as appropriate, to assist with managing behavior.. Coordinate follow up as necessary.
• Educate the University community on the Student Care Network process and how to identify and report student behaviors of concern.
• Identify University policy and procedural issues and recommend changes to appropriate entities.
• Review Student Care Network procedures and protocols and assess team effectiveness and compliance with University policies.
