Care Reporting
William & Mary cares about the well-being of students. When students experience significant challenges impacting their well-being, the Dean of Students Office can help. Faculty, staff, and fellow students may refer students through a care report.
To submit a care report, go to Report Concerns or Violations.
What is Care Reporting?
The care reporting system provides outreach, supports, and services to students who are experiencing significant challenges.
Care reporting is not a crisis response hotline nor mental health triage. For emergency situations, please call 911 prior to submitting any care report. For mental health support, including after-hours Emergency Services, please call the W&M Counseling Center at 757-221-3620.

What Happens when a Care Report is Submitted
Reports are monitored throughout the day and assigned according to severity and nature.
In most cases, submitting a care report will result in an administrator reaching out to the student. We encourage you to be intentional in submitting these reports.
Collaboration: As you submit a care report, please know that we are also available to partner with you to come up with creative solutions to complex situations in the residence halls, classroom, and the larger community. The Dean of Students Office provides coaching, facilitated dialogue, and workshops. We encourage you to reach out to us for guidance and support as you navigate these challenging moments.
