Residential College Pairing

Community of Care

Take care of yourselves and others. Make a plan for your day, including dressing for the weather and getting enough to eat. Take care of your friends by staying together and reconnecting if you get separated.
 
If you see any concerning situations, even if they seem small, take action. You can check in with your friends, offer to help those around you, and ask for help from hosts or professionals.

Emergencies Involving Alcohol & Other Drugs

If you are concerned that a peer may be experiencing an alcohol- or drug-related emergency, seek help. Stay with them and call Yale Dispatch for help (203-432-4400). If you do not have cell service, uniformed security or emergency medical personnel can help you.
 
Call for emergency support if a peer shows any of the following signs:

• Is unresponsive or unconscious,
• Cannot walk unassisted,
• Is vomiting uncontrollably,
• Is unable to respond to simple commands, or
• Is exhibiting any other behaviors or symptoms that alarm you (e.g. skin discoloration, bizarre body temperatures, confusing speech).

Remember that Yale has a Medical Emergency Policy. This means that if you summon help for yourself, a fellow student, or a guest in medical need, you will not be charged by the Yale College Executive Committee with alcohol or other drug violations, but you may have to complete counseling, educational, or training programs within an agreed upon timeframe. This policy applies regardless of your own use of alcohol or other drugs.
