Cascadia offers counseling services to students through a partnership with Northshore Youth and Family Services. A Northshore counselor is available on campus 12 hours a week when classes are in session. Appointments are made by calling Kodiak Corner or contacting the counselor directly. The on campus counselor is not available during the summer quarter. Cascadia students may access their six sessions over the summer at the Northshore Youth & Family Services.

CARE stands for Consultation, Assessment, Response, Education

The Cascadia CARE Team is here to assist with:

• Consultation and support to faculty, staff and administrators in assisting students who display concerning or disruptive behavior
• Connecting students with college and community resources
• Monitoring ongoing behavior of students who have displayed concerning or disruptive behavior

When you contact the CARE Team for assistance, a team member will respond within one business day. You may also stop by the office of or phone a CARE Team member to initiate support. Once the CARE Team has been alerted to a situation, members will meet to implement the assessment process.
