WSU Student Care Network

The WSU Spokane Student Care Team is part of the WSU system-wide Student Care Network. We provide students in Spokane and Yakima with early intervention and connection to campus, WSU System, and community resources to support their well-being and success.

Students can receive information and referrals for support related to academics, financial insecurity, food insecurity, housing insecurity, interpersonal conflict(s), mental health, medical concerns, navigating/accessing university resources, post-hospitalization, recent personal tragedy, threatening behaviors toward self or others, or other problems. Resource referral information can be provided in various ways, including emails, phone calls, individual appointments with a Care Case Manager (in-person or via Zoom), or appointments coordinated with other offices on campus.

If you are concerned about a student, complete the Student Care Referral Form below. If you would like to request resource assistance for yourself, complete the Student Care Self-Request Form.
