Supporting Student Well-being: Understanding the Care Report

As staff and faculty on a large university campus, you may encounter students in a variety of difficult situations and it is reasonable to be concerned at times. This session will go into detail about Wellness Services’ Care Report System, which is a web-secured reporting mechanism that anyone (staff, faculty, friend, student, community member, etc.), on or off campus, can utilize if they are concerned for a student. Join this session to learn more about what a Care Report is, when and how to submit one, what happens after, and to ask any questions you may have about how Wellness Services supports students.

  • Explain the purpose of Care Reports as well as when and how to submit one for a student of concern
