Culture of Care A campus wide, student-led and staff supported initiative focused on creating a campus culture where members of the Indiana University Bloomington community demonstrate “care” for one another. Through bystander intervention, the Culture of Care initiative empowers students to support their peers through helping one another and raising awareness in the four core areas of sexual well-being, mental health, alcohol and drug awareness and respect. Our vision is that IU students will have the Courage to Care to step up and help someone in need. This may mean calling 911 in an emergency or calling Safety Escort or a taxi service to get another student home safely. Through Culture of Care events and activities, students are taught how to respond to situations through scenarios and are provided resources such as post cards and key tags with emergency contact information. | Culture of Care: http://care.indiana.edu/ | On going |
