Providence College CARE Team Referral

Page 1

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: In instances of extreme student distress, simply offering a referral/submitting a report is not sufficient. In these instances, it is imperative to ensure that a connection with an appropriate resource (Public Safety, Personal Counseling Center, Dean’s Office, etc.) is accomplished. If the distressed student is unwilling to permit this, faculty/staff/students should still contact a College official (Public Safety, Dean of Students) for assistance. 
The Dean of Students Office: 401.865.1782
Personal Counseling: 401.865.2343
Public Safety:401.865.2222

In an emergency after-hours situation, the following resources are available 24/7 for assistance:
  • Public Safety: 401.865.2222
  • Providence Police: 911 or 9-911 from a campus phone
  • Residence Life Hall Director On Call: 401.639.9110​
  • Confidential Resources Answering Service: 401.865.1333​​​ (for 24/7 access to confidential resources from the Personal Counseling Center and Campus Ministry)
