Campus Policies for Parental Leave

Case Western Reserve University recognizes the need to support employees as they balance career, childbirth, and family life.  This paid parental leave policy addresses family and work-life balance as legitimate, important, and vital to the success of the university.  This policy allows for a specified period of paid leave to be taken within 12 months following the birth or adoption of a child and is administered in conjunction with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA).

Collegiate Behavioral Health Committee

University Counseling Services (UCS) has expanded its programming to reflect a growing emphasis on primary prevention and treating the whole person. Our mental health focus has been expanded to include holistic programming designed to not only prevent and treat but also promote and maintain health and well being.

Programs such as stress management, smoking cessation, healthy eating and meditation are just a few of those being offered that incorporate wellness promotion into behavioral change programs.

Our aim is to offer students assistance in their pursuit of optimal health and positive lifestyle choices that will enhance their lives and contribute to their academic success.
