Mission

The mission of the Center for Care and Resilience is to partner with students in need of support, guidance, or other intervention and connect them with the resources they need to be successful. Students, faculty, staff, visitors, family, and/or other community members can identify and request support for students in need.

The center provides strengths-based, inclusive, holistic support, consultation, and education to members of the UT community. The center works to promote individual students’ well-being and success and encourages wellness and personal safety through several key strategies:

Identify and assist students who are experiencing distress or concerning behavior.
Promote a supportive and connected community and foster self-efficacy
Identify and explore options to address student challenges and/or concerning behavior.
Educate students about campus and community resources and help facilitate connections to those resources.
Address barriers to student learning and development.
Help the UT community build capacity to support student needs.
