Student Care Coordination
Student Care Coordination helps undergraduate, graduate, and professional students navigate and connect with campus and community resources. This is often the first point of contact when seeking care.
How We Coordinate Care
Assess
We assess each student's needs to create an individualized plan for success
Connect
We explore resources within the Student Care Network and Nashville community and assist with making first-time appointments and referrals across our wide range of Vanderbilt health and wellness services.
Support
We review all Student of Concern forms to identify appropriate and timely resources to help support students in distress.
Follow Up
We offer ongoing support through follow up care coordination, support following illness or hospitalization, before, during, and aftera Medical Leave of Absence, and more.
Curated, Continuous Care
Student Care Coordinators have the opportunity to develop close helping relationships with students while coaching them toward appropriate resources, self-care, and self-advocacy. Because a successful plan may include multiple resources, Student Care Coordinators can provide continuity of care and accountability with students to evaluate successes, barriers, and/or gaps in support.
Drop-in Care
Drop-in Care Coordination allows quick access for students to meet with a Care Coordinator to learn about and navigate resources and support, with no appointment needed.
What to Expect During Your Meeting with SCC
You and your Care Coordinator may:
- Discuss your current needs and any challenges you may be having.
- Develop and implement a success plan for the future.
- Explore referrals to campus and community resources, and assist with scheduling appointments.
- Discuss your current concerns that may be causing you distress or adversity.
- Schedule any follow-up appointments if needed.
- It's important to note that care coordination is not counseling or therapy. However, we partner closely with the University Counseling Center (UCC) to conduct intake assessments and schedule appointments for therapy and/or medication management.
