As part of its mission to drive positive change throughout the world, Vanderbilt is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all members of the university community.
Through the combined efforts of our Office of Health and Wellness and the Student Care Network, which encompasses Student Care Coordination, the University Counseling Center, the Student Health Center, and the Center for Student Wellbeing, members of our campus community have access to many support resources for their mental health and well-being.*
Student Resources
Immediate Assistance
Emergency help is available if you or someone you know is in immediate crisis or needs to speak with a professional immediately. Information about your options is available on the Student Care Network website.
Support
Students have access to a number of resources that form a network of care. Areas of focus include cultural and identity, emotional, financial, intellectual, physical, sexual, social, spiritual and vocational.
Supporting Other Students
There are many ways you can support other students who are struggling with their personal, physical or emotional well-being. Encourage them to utilize the above resources. If you recognize a fellow Commodore in distress who may benefit from wellness support and professional resources, you can submit a student of concern form.
Information about when you should submit a student of concern form can be found on the Student Care Network website.
