We are excited to announce Cougar Care, an upcoming initiative designed specifically with you in mind. We understand that your journey through college comes with its unique challenges, and we are here to provide you with the comprehensive support you need to thrive academically and personally. 

Cougar Care is all about wrap-around services, which means we are committed to addressing not just your academic needs, but also the various life challenges you may encounter while pursuing your education. Cougar Care will focus on basic needs, including: 

• Mental Health Support 
• Food Resources 
• Emergency Aid 
• Transportation 
• Caregiving 

The heart of Cougar Care is to create a network of support at all CBC locations, making sure that you have easy access to the resources you need. Our goal is to remove non-academic barriers that may stand in your way and empower you to achieve your educational goals. 

As you embark on your educational journey at CBC, know that Cougar Care is here for you!

What is Cougar Care? 

Cougar Care, Coastal Bend College’s new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), will create a program for students to easily access support services across all CBC locations.  CBC employees will receive training to identify student challenges related to basic needs, understand their role in Cougar Care, and learn effective ways to help students succeed. 

Cougar Care’s goal is to boost student success by recognizing and reducing the impact of obstacles to basic needs through comprehensive support services.
