3. If I am worried about my friend/roommate’s wellbeing, what do I do?

There are several options available to you to receive guidance and initiate help for the UCCS students you are worried about:

CARE Team Report : The CARE (Campus Assessment Response and Evaluation) Team will assess and coordinate responses to significant campus situations and events involving University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) students, which require intervention in order to assist the community and its members. The reports may be anonymous, or you can make yourself available to help the CARE Team provide assistance to your friend. This is an especially good route if your friend is hesitant about reaching out and receiving help. For more information and/or submitting a concern, please visit: https://dos.uccs.edu/care
Wellness Center Mental Health Services: This is a good option if your friend is also wondering about where to turn to be able to address the stress/mental health related concerns they have. Please have them call the Wellness Center 719-255-4444 to schedule an appointment with a Mental Health provider.
