First and foremost, we are here to listen. We are passionate about cultivating the Culture of Care at Baker and hope to help you or someone you are worried about through difficult situations and answer any questions about improving your overall health.
We can also act as liaisons to the Wellbeing Office, Counseling Center, and other professional resources if you are interested, but we are not mandatory reporters. All conversations are confidential unless there is a threat of immediate danger. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any one of us about a wellness concern.
We also host monthly events at Baker including education on wellness topics, mindfulness meditation sessions, and self-care events. All of us are equipped with various medical supplies if you need anything.
