Student Outreach & Support (All campuses)
Student Outreach and Support (SOS) helps students manage life stressors that are impacting their academic and personal well-being, including mental health, housing and/or food insecurities, and more. After receiving a referral for services (you can self-refer, too), our case managers utilize supportive interventions and campus/ community resources to remove barriers and reduce stress for the students supported.
You might know a student or friend who could use our help – please refer them (we will make every attempt to keep your info private), especially if they are experiencing:
• Change in typical behavior or frequent mood shifts
• Thoughts or signs of self-harm or harm to others
• Missing classes, tests and assignments due to lost of interest
• Difficulties with life events
• Hopelessness, isolation, or worthlessness.
To make a referral, visit our website or call us – we care and will help!
