The C.A.R.E. Team

Welcome to Providence College’s CARE program within the Office of the Dean of Students! Our dedicated team provides personalized support to students facing challenges, crises, or distress that may impact their social, personal, or academic well-being. We are committed to fostering a culture of care that reflects our Catholic and Dominican values.

Our goal is to empower students to navigate their unique experiences with warmth and compassion. We recognize each student as a whole individual, deserving of care that honors their identities, cultures, and values.

This website offers an overview of our services, how to report a student of concern, and what to expect after a report is filed. For questions, contact us at deanofstudents@providence.edu.

Mission Statement

The CARE team is a campus-wide team of appointed staff responsible for identifying, assessing, and responding to concerns and/or disruptive behaviors by students who struggle academically, emotionally, or psychologically, or who present a risk to the health or safety of the College or its members.

“Do not be discouraged by setbacks. God is always at work in your life.”
