[HWS-announcements] CARE and The Well are Moving: Here’s What That Means

[Pam Coe]

Dear HWS Staff,



The Health, Well-being & Safety Vice Chancellor’s Office announced that
Campus, Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) and The Well offices are
moving to new spaces on campus. The locations will change, but their
commitment to the mission of supporting student well-being and
success remains.



The transition is part of a larger effort to support important student
programs​ and resources​, including Foster Youth Support
Services (FYSS) and Guardian Scholars. We’re working closely with campus
partners to make sure this move is smooth without interruption to programs
and services.



*Campus, Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE)*

*Effective May 6, CARE will consolidate services into one location, HUB
377. *CARE will continue its current operations in this location, such
as initial advocacy contact, service navigation, and prevention
initiatives. CARE will relocate its advocates to offices in the Student
Health & Counseling Center, a confidential, supportive counseling
environment. To further the highest level of confidentiality and survivor
safety, most advocacy appointments will be conducted via Zoom. For
students, faculty, and staff who prefer a face-to-face connection,
in-person appointments are available in HUB 377 by request.



Visit care.ucr.edu for hours of operation, announcements, and to make an
appointment.



*The Well*

*The Well has begun relocating to a temporary location in HUB 381
(previously* occupied by CARE advocates). To facilitate the move, The Well
closed on May 4 and will reopen on May 12 in HUB 381. During this time,
full services will resume, including resource distribution (Grab-N-Go) and
peer education activities. The Well will continue to operate The Lounge in
the Student Health & Counseling Center and conduct health promotion and
education programs across campus. The Well’s director, Dr. Connie
Marmolejo, will remain in HUB 248 until May 22 to assist and direct
students to the new location.



For more information about The Well services, upcoming events, location,
and hours, visit well.ucr.edu.



*What’s next*

Operations for CARE and The Well are expected to continue in these
locations through June 2027. We appreciate your patience and understanding
during the office moves, and look forward to continuing to support the
needs of the Highlander community. More information about permanent
locations for CARE and The Well will be shared as it becomes available.
