The SOS Team

Non-clinical case management is about assisting students with the access to the care or support they need. Our assessment of the student's concerns focuses on social determinants that share a person’s overall wellbeing. The work often involves completing initial needs assessments, developing individualized plans, and helping students navigate barriers to care or services. All of our services are free and voluntary. 

What do we do:

  • Assesses student needs
  • Facilitates referrals & care coordination
  • Evaluates and advocates for options and services to meet a student's needs through communication and available resources to promote student safety, wellness, personal care and academic success
  • Mandated reporters
  • Sexual Assault Victim Advocate
  • Short term support
  • Governed by FERPA

At the core, case management is about helping students overcome obstacles. We are not licensed therapists and someone who will do the work for you; however, we are here to help you along the way.
