Caring for You is Our Priority!

 

Student Wellness C.A.R.E.S. Connection System

The Student Wellness C.A.R.E.S. Connection System is available through the Wheaton portal! It represents Care, Advocacy, Resources, Engagement, and Support, offering intentional, ongoing connections to support undergraduate student retention and success. Our goal is to partner with each student to provide the care they need to thrive at Wheaton College.


How to Access the C.A.R.E.S. Connection

Students can access the C.A.R.E.S. Connection link via the "undergraduate" tab in the Wheaton portal. From there, they’ll find forms that connect them with support and resources tailored to their well-being and academic journey.


For Undergraduate Students: Support and Resource Request Form

This form empowers students to self-advocate and request resources that promote their success. Submissions are followed up by the Associate Dean of Student Wellness, who provides personalized care and next steps.


For Faculty and Staff: Referral and Resource Forms

Faculty and staff can also access C.A.R.E.S. Connection tools through the Wheaton portal. Two forms are available to support both undergraduate and graduate students:

  • CARES Referral Form
    Submit a referral if you observe behaviors or concerns that may need coordinated care. The Associate Dean will follow up directly with the student to offer support.

  • Resource Request Form
    Request assistance from the Student Wellness team to better support your students’ well-being.


A Note from the Associate Dean

I look forward to partnering with you to create a plan to support your retention and success.

Student Care Check-In

Transitions and college life can be challenging, especially after tough seasons. The Care Check-In equips students to notice when they or their peers need support and provides trusted campus resources to lean on during those times.
