Your Health Matters

Increase accessibility to CAPS by offering more drop-in hours and creating additional locations across campus. Integration with ConnectCarolina would streamline scheduling, while expanded virtual counseling options would allow students to access care regardless of location or schedule.

Create a task force dedicated to improving off-campus student safety, including evaluating and expanding SafeWalk. Explore peer-driven late-night ride programs modeled after Texas State's Bobcat Safe Rides, providing safe, affordable transportation home.

Ensure Plan B and Narcan are widely available on campus through strategic placement in high-traffic areas with clear signage and awareness campaigns. Prioritize educational efforts about proper use and overdose prevention.

Require registered student organizations to submit safety plans for off-campus events, outlining strategies for transportation, crowd management, and emergency response. Include workshops and guidance resources for creating effective safety plans.

Integrate a dedicated Student Wellness button in Canvas linking students directly to mental health, medical, and safety resources including CAPS, Plan B/Narcan locations, and ride services. This centralized access reduces barriers to support.

Fully integrate Campus Health Services into ConnectCarolina, allowing students to schedule medical and mental health appointments in one centralized platform. This improves continuity of care and makes accessing services more convenient.
