WashU Cares is a team of professionals who are here to guide students through complex systems and recommend and coordinate both on- and off-campus resources for a student’s support network. They provide supportive case management. Some of the ways they might assist students include the following:

  • • Co-creating a plan of action when students feel overwhelmed.
  • • Providing guidance about accessing basic needs (i.e., food, housing, finances).
  • • Collaborating on communication with university faculty and staff.
  • • Connecting to mental health resources on campus or in the community.
  • • Discussing whether a medical leave of absence to focus on their health is right for them.
