Everyone experiences difficulties throughout their college experience, but speaking up and asking for support can enable you or a fellow peer to build resilience and thrive. CARE is here for all students at the UR. Whether you are seeking support for a friend, or yourself, we encourage you to submit a CARE Referral to connect with appropriate forms of support and resources to maintain wellness and achieve goals.

CARE can be of assistance by supplying students with options for support while also aiding individuals who support the student in need.

At Rochester, the CARE Network helps to identify students in, or heading toward, distress. With timely and appropriate support, we can ensure our students have access to the resources and services they need to thrive. As members of the UR community, we rely on you—the eyes and ears of our campus—to help make sure our students are supported.

TELUS Health is available 24/7 for urgent on demand support for mental health crises via text or phone. TELUS Health is a free and confidential remote service affiliated with the University that can be used regardless of students' geographical location (cross-country and international).

The Mental Health Association promotes lasting mental wellness in our community through a diverse spectrum of educational programming, service referrals, and individual assistance to those seeking to find—and maintain—wellness. Their services are available to everyone who needs them: no referral, diagnosis, or insurance necessary.

NAMI Rochester exists to provide support, education and advocacy to individuals and families of all cultural backgrounds who are living with mental illness. We envision a world where stigma is no longer a barrier to treatment, support is readily available, and mental illness is universally accepted as a treatable medical condition.
