Babson Cares

Babson CARES is dedicated to assisting students facing a challenge or obstacle that is having an impact on their success. We are here to ensure that students are provided with the advocacy and support they deserve while navigating their academics and well-being.

Through action planning, resource referral, and care coordination, we provide our students with individualized attention and allyship to assist them in meeting their needs. Whether you’re seeking support yourself or someone else, Babson CARES is here for you. 

Reasons to Meet with Babson CARES: 

Our Case Managers help students navigate and access resources discreetly and without judgement when they are in need. We do our best to make you feel comfortable and safe. 

Students often connect with us when they are: 

• Navigating a personal transition or unexpected life challenge 
• Managing mental or physical health concerns
• Facing food, housing, or other basic need insecurities
• Concerned about how to support a friend in need 
• Unsure how to communicate needs to faculty and campus partners 

If you are facing an obstacle and are unsure of where to start, we're here to help! We'll work with you to navigate your concerns and connect with the right campus resources. 

Meeting with a Care Manager: 

Our staff meets with students one-on-one either in Hollister 121 or online via WebEx. During our meetings, we will listen to your concerns, ask questions to better understand your perspective, and identify any barriers having an impact on your experience. Together, we'll clarify or set goals and create a personalized support plan to help meet your needs while respecting your autonomy. We can:

• Share information about campus and community resources
• Help you communicate with faculty or connect further with campus partners
• Offer ongoing check-ins throughout the semester

When you leave our office, our goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and confident about your next steps.

What Babson Cares is Not:  

Our Care Managers provide non-clinical support. This means we do not provide therapy, counseling, or medical care. We can provide students with more information about how to connect with clinical services like Babson’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), UWill, and/or Health Services.  

Care Managers are mandatory reporters and must report complaints of sex-based discrimination or harassment and gender-based misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator. We recognize some students may wish to receive confidential-support without having their experiences reported to Babson’s Title IX Office. Please see Bason's Confidential Resources on Campus List for more information about connecting with confidential support on campus.
