Heels Care Network
The Heels Care Network builds on our culture of compassion and care at Carolina to make mental health resources easier to access for students, faculty, and staff, as well as to help our students’ families and our broader community serve as partners in this effort.
Carolina Parents Fund
Student Affairs builds connections with Carolina families through engaging events, programs, and activities that help support our students and families and make a big place like UNC, feel a little bit smaller.
