What is the difference between the Threat Assessment Team and the Care Team?
The Threat Assessment Team deals with anyone (student, employee, non-affiliated) who may pose a threat to the Virginia Tech Community. The Care Team is a student assistance team designed to aid students with any problems that may arise during his/her time as a student. While the two teams are separate entities, a few key administrators serve on both teams. An incident may first be reviewed on one team, and then during the discussion it becomes apparent that it should be on the other team. The case is then moved to the agenda of the other team for management. As a reporting party, you do not need to decide where you should share your concern; once you share your concern, the information will be forwarded to the appropriate team.
