Head Caregivers

A Head Caregiver oversees the Caregiving Program at their college and works to implement and maintain the culture of care within the college. The most important job of the Head Caregivers is to be a resource for the college to contact when someone is in need of caregiving or unsure of how to handle a situation. Head Caregivers are prepared to respond to phone calls when someone needs caregiving and able to provide help on the fly.

Rice Health Advisors

Note: RHAs will direct students to the Wellness Center, Health Services or the Rice Counseling Center as appropriate.

What can the RHAs do for me?
RHAs are trained on mental health and wellness topics such as being an ALLY, stress relief, suicide prevention, and body acceptance among other topics. They are here if you need to discuss a personal problem or issue in a confidential setting, or if you just want to learn more about the organization.

What health supplies do the RHAs provide?
Alcohol wipes, Aminofen (Tylenol), antibiotic ointment, antiseptic, Astroglide, Band-Aids, cloth tape, condoms, cough drops, earplugs, elastic bandages, Ibuprofen, hydrocortisone cream, ice packs, sterile gauze pads, tampons, and maybe other supplies. Feel free to ask! RHAs keep a supply kit in their rooms, and there is also an RHA locker in the commons.

How can I contact the Hanszen RHAs?
If you can't find them roaming around Hanszen, feel free to email them! There will also be a poster in the commons with their emails and phone numbers, and the doors to their rooms will have a sign with their name and contact info too.
