At the University of Rhode Island, student well-being, safety, and success are shared responsibilities. Our campus is committed to identifying concerns early, responding thoughtfully, and connecting students with the right support at the right time. Through collaboration across academic, student affairs, and support units, URI takes a proactive and coordinated approach to care\u2014one that recognizes the complexity of students\u2019 lives and the diverse challenges they may face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Assess, Needs, Care, Help, Outreach, Resources (A.N.C.H.O.R.) Team<\/a><\/strong> and the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)<\/a><\/strong> together provide a multi-tiered system of support designed to address both emerging concerns and higher-risk situations. These teams bring together trained, like-minded professionals who share information appropriately, assess risk, and coordinate interventions to promote student well-being, accountability, and campus safety. With student success as a guiding principle, this integrated approach helps ensure that URI students are supported in ways that allow them to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.N.C.H.O.R.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

What we do<\/h1>\n\n

A.N.C.H.O.R. is tasked with reviewing, collaborating, and addressing reports of students with lower-level concerns, which can include, but are not limited to homesickness; isolation; minor behavioral concerns; escalating substance abuse; changing mental health concerns; roommate issues; overlapping academic concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team members may reach out to students, faculty, and staff members to ensure a comprehensive response to reports. A.N.C.H.O.R. team interventions may be brief or, if appropriate, involve long-term monitoring and\/or outreach to student(s) of concern. The A.N.C.H.O.R. team is not a disciplinary body, however cases that escalate into violations of URI Community Standards may be referred to the Dean of Students for appropriate disciplinary action.<\/p>\n\n\nlearn more<\/a>\n<\/section>\n\n
