Chancellor Justin Schwartz on Thursday announced a reorganization of Health and Wellness Services aimed at further investing in and enhancing the already robust care and support provided for students, faculty and staff.��

Specifically, the shift entails:����

• Creating a new��Student Health and Well-Being��unit within the Division of Student Life.
  • This will include Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS), Center for Collegiate Recovery (CRC), Health Promotion, Medical Services, and Pharmacy.
• ���󾱴ڳپ��Բ���Disability Services and Testing Center��to the Division of Student Life, where they will continue to support accommodations for students.
• Establishing an��Employee Health and Well-Being��unit within the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Operations.
  • This will include WorkWell, the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP), the Office of Victim Assistance (OVA), the CALM Center and ADA Compliance.
  • Associate Vice Chancellor for Health and Wellness Services Jess Doty will remain in Operations to lead the Employee Health and Well-Being unit.

Senior leadership from Student Life, the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Operations, and the Department of Human Resources are coordinating during the transition to ensure continuity of services and care for the campus community.

Schwartz said the intent of the changes is to enable each of the two new divisions to focus specifically on the unique needs of their respective populations, streamline operations, expand service and enhance access to care.��

“Supporting the success of our students, faculty and staff is one of our top priorities as a campus,” Schwartz said. “We have innovative people who have made extraordinary strides in the health and wellness space in recent years, and this new structure will provide the opportunity to tailor care for our student, faculty and staff populations even more while also expanding our offerings. I am grateful for the work of our leadership team for taking this step and for all of our Health and Wellness Services staff for the care they provide—and will continue to provide—for our campus community.”

Schwartz said responses to the Faculty and Staff Engagement Survey have indicated greater desire for employee health and wellness support. He said the new structure will enable �鶹��Ѱ�����Boulder to continue building on the progress made in the employee well-being space in recent years.��

Schwartz added that he expects the changes to be additive and does not anticipate the need for layoffs as part of the reorganization. Some roles may shift to align to the new structure and strategy.��

Access to services will remain uninterrupted during the transition.��

“As we center our organizational structures around the communities served, we are also mindful of the strengths and benefits of having a robust community of practice of health and wellness practitioners that is connected across campus,” Schwartz said. “We will be intentional about ensuring that we enhance the structures to support that community of practice.”

The new structure will be complementary to the��Student Mental Health and Wellness Initiative announced in March, which is being led by the Crown Institute. The goals of that initiative are to strengthen collaborative, comprehensive and effective programs and policies that mitigate risk and promote student flourishing.

“Having a dedicated student health and well-being division will help more clearly define the targeted work of the Student Mental Health and Wellness Initiative and enable more streamlined implementation of the recommendations that blossom from that effort,” Schwartz said.��
