CAPS mental health services can help you express thoughts and feelings, gain perspective, alleviate emotional symptoms, improve coping skills, and make healthy changes in your life. We provide counseling services and same-day triage support.

If you are concerned about a student who is in distress, appears overwhelmed, or seems to be profoundly struggling, reach out to CAPS, the CARE Team, or Community Care. Learn more about how these resources can support students.
