Initiatives

The Office of Health and Wellness manages several initiatives to support students' physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. 

Care, Assessment, Response, Evaluation, Success (CARES)

The CARES team at Berklee exists to help students in distress who may be experiencing challenging or difficult life circumstances while in school. We are a team of staff members from areas around the institution who are dedicated to supporting the success, achievement, and wellbeing of every member of Berklee's student body. 

Learn about the CARES team and how to support a student in distress.

Reach Out

Reach Out is a donor-funded initiative that aims to promote, encourage, and support healthy behaviors and decision-making for Berklee students. Reach Out assists in providing specific education, outreach, programming, and resources on substance use and abuse; sexual assault and interpersonal violence and abuse; and mental health awareness.
