RED FLAGS

If you witness someone exhibiting any of the following behaviors, this is a red flag that the individual may be experiencing a crisis and is in need of assistance.  A CARE report should be submitted on the individual.  Please click here to submit a CARE report.

Is someone you know:

• experiencing a decline in work or academic performance?
• demonstrating disruptive or disturbing behavior?
• showing dramatic changes in appearance, behavior, or weight?
• having problems at home, with classes, or at work?
• making disturbing comments in conversation, email, letters, social media posting or papers?
• sad, anxious, or experiencing dramatic mood shifts?
• abusing alcohol or drugs?
• isolating themselves socially?
• acting paranoid or suspicious?
• frequently angry or easily frustrated?
• struggling with health problems?

These behaviors, especially when more than one are present, may be signs that a student, faculty member, or staff member is in distress.

There are many resources available at AVC to help, and your report to AVC CARE  can make a difference.
