FAQ for Residential Staff/Leaders

If you live in a campus living center, such as a co-op, a fraternity or sorority, International House or a residence hall, it is likely that you have a live-in Health Worker (HW). Your HW can assist you with dozens of medical, mental health and lifestyle issues in the convenience of your own house/hall. Start by finding out who your HW is, learn more about what your HW does, or how to become a HW yourself!

And, if you are an RA, manager, officer or other student leader in your house/hall and have questions about working with your HW, check our FAQ for Residential Staff/Leaders.

Any other questions, feel free to contact us!
