I completed a CARE referral, but the behavior is continuing, what do I do?

If a concerning behavior persists, there are a few steps you could take. You can reach out to the CARE Team to provide an update. If you are able and comfortable, you can continue to express your observations and concerns to the person directly with empathy and without judgment. Additionally, you could offer them support by connecting them to on-campus resources, like the SDCC.

Remind yourself that behavior change takes time and depending on the situation, some change takes longer than others. If the behavior is impacting your relationship with the person, consider what your boundaries are, and how you are upholding them within the relationship.
