Student Care

Student Care focuses on a multi-dimensional approach to help a student navigate the University, understand their options, and create plans for staying engaged in the academic, living, and learning communities, or if needs be, how to help students take time off from their studies.  We believe students are the experts in their own life, we focus on listening without judgment and empowering students to explore strategies that help them address possible concerns and challenges.

Suicide Intervention Program

The Suicide Intervention Program is designed to reduce the risk of self-harming behaviors by reaching out and connecting to students when incidents of concern are reported to the University. Our goal is to promote and foster a supportive and healthy environment for all students.

This program is not designed to intervene in an emergency. If a situation warrants an immediate response, individuals should contact 911 for emergent situations and an immediate response. For more information or to make a referral email: lwsip@uw.edu.

Alcohol & Other Drug Consults

The LiveWell Alcohol and Other Drugs Coordinator is a professional staff member available to work 1-1 with students who want to learn about their individual consumption of alcohol or other substances. Students can learn how college drinking norms or other substance use relates to their own individual behavior. Meetings incorporate information about use patterns, individual drinking cues, harm reduction skills, impacts on academics and athletic performance, strategies for relaxation and stress management, as well as resources for those interested in abstinence.
