Resources for Student Health and Wellness
| Resource | Purpose |
| HelpCompass | The CU Anschutz HelpCompass is a navigation tool that directs users to on- and off-campus offices, organizations, and programs that provide services specific to the user's needs (e.g., food insecurity, in-person or virtual mental health support, etc.). Usage of this application is 100% anonymous and functions as a preliminary assessment of the appropriate organizations to contact for further support. |
| Student and Resident Mental Health Clinic | The Student and Resident Mental Health Clinic provides confidential mental health services for students, residents, and fellows. Additional information about their services (e.g., how to make an appointment, insurance coverage, emergency services) can be found on their website. |
| TELUS Health Student Support App | TELUS Health Student Support is a third-party application that offers free online mental health counseling and support. Please note that CU Anschutz does not own, sponsor, recommend, or endorse any of the health care providers on TELUS, and any screening of providers is the responsibility of the user. |
| Student Outreach and Support Office | The Student Outreach and Support Office provides resources for students to succeed in graduate school, including but not limited to: customized action plans to help students achieve their goals and navigate challenging situations, access to resources for student safety and well-being, and individualized case management by a dedicated Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) Team. |
| Office of Disability Access and Inclusion (ODAI) | The Office of Disability Access and Inclusion (ODAI) provides accommodations and collaborates across campus partners on accessibility issues with the ultimate goal of providing equal access and opportunities to the campus's growing and diverse disabled student population. Instructions on how to request accommodations, relevant policies and guidelines, and additional resources are available on the linked ODAI webpage. |
Resources for Workplace Resolutions
Protection of trainee rights in the workplace remains a priority of the ORE Student Council. Below is a list of resources and policies available for trainees and other employees:
| Resource | Purpose |
| Ombuds Office | The Ombuds Office provides students, faculty, and staff the space to confidentially communicate university-related concerns. As a neutral, third-party service, the Ombuds Office can help individuals identify options to move forward and facilitate discussions between parties. Visits will not automatically trigger formal courses of action unless specified by the individual. |
| Office of Adaptable Resolutions (OAR) | The Office of Adaptable Resolutions (OAR) offers private mediation to students, faculty, and staff to address and manage conflict through collaborative and community-strengthening conversations. OAR also offers individual coaching and training to foster robust communication and conflict resolution skills. |
| Office of Equity (OE) | Students, faculty, and staff may file a report through the Office of Equity (OE) for cases related to discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or other forms of harm. Reports made through the OE are private but not confidential (explicit definitions of this difference can be found on the OE webpage). Campus-specific policies and procedures as well as state and federal laws related to their work are directly linked on their webpage. |
| ORE Maxient Form | Students, faculty, and staff may use this form to share any concerns or report any type of issue or concern about oneself or others. Once submitted, the form will be routed to the corresponding Program Director and Program Administrator for follow-up. If an individual prefers NOT to notify the program, they may select "ORE" from the Program list and the form will instead be routed to the ORE Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. |
| Workplace Bullying Policy | The Workplace Bullying Policy includes key definitions and employee rights in the context of workplace bullying, as well as related policies and resources. |
| Anti-Retaliation Policy | The Anti-Retaliation Policy protects employees from materially adverse actions threatened or taken as a response to their connection with filed complaints. |
| Faculty Professionalism Code of Conduct | The Faculty Professionalism Code of Conduct outlines the professional standards and responsibilities expected of faculty members, including definitions and examples of unacceptable faculty behavior and repercussions for repeated violations. |
| Appropriate Treatment of Research Trainees (AToRT) | The Appropriate Treatment of Research Trainees (AToRT) provides guidance on how to create and maintain an inclusive and effective training environment, as well as methods to address inappropriate behavior towards trainees. |
