Community of Care Liaison Program
Main Content
The Community of Care Liaison Program is intended to be a vital component in the university’s effort to foster communication, programmatic, educational, and logistical strategies around student mental health and creating a community of care. Specifically, the Community of Care Liaison program’s charge includes the following:
- Articulating the roles and responsibilities of faculty and staff members with regards to student’s overall health and well-being. This includes, but is not limited to helping to educate faculty and staff about their roles as responsible employees around reporting sexual misconduct.
- Communicating to faculty and staff about campus resources available to students that can promote resilience and mental wellness, as well as when and how to refer students to those resources.
- Working with student affairs professionals to recommend ways to equip faculty and staff to recognize warning signs in students and to respond appropriately.
- Serving as a primary point of contact in academic units for student affairs professionals. This will open a line of communication for discussion and consultation related to student mental health and wellness issues.
