Care

The Bentley Care Team

The goal of the Care Team is to connect students with essential resources and services to effectively navigate personal difficulties. The Care Team is a small multidisciplinary group of professional staff members on campus who collaborates across the university to support students.

You can help connect a student with these essential resources and services by submitting a Care referral Submissions are reviewed during university business hours typically within 1-2 business days.  For emergencies, contact University Police at 781.891.3131 (on-campus) or dial 911 (off-campus). The Care Team plays a secondary role to all urgent circumstances and should be contacted only after initial emergency notifications are made.

Kognito

Bentley University has partnered with Kognito to provide students and faculty/staff a resource that provides experiential learning simulations that give users the confidence to start more conversations around complex topics such as substance use, sexual misconduct, and suicide prevention. Kognito’s mission is to help Bentley students improve their mental health while supporting administrators and staff in their efforts to create a safe campus which fosters an inclusive community.
