CAPS Services

Comprehensive, Curated Care that Works

The services at CAPS combine to create Care Pathways that offer efficient, effective mental health care.

How Services Work at CAPS

We've curated our Care Pathways to provide you with the skills, connection, and individual care that will help you address your concerns and goals. Care Pathways services work together to give you care that's both effective and efficient, helping you feel better, build confidence, and get the most out student life (and beyond). 

Starting July 1, most CAPS services will be available at no cost to main campus students. All are confidential. Students can self-schedule many, and CAPS providers can help with referrals when needed. 

Core Services of Care Pathways

CAPS services work together to provide skill-building, peer connection, and individual support in curated pathways. The combination of our services is more powerful in supporting mental health than any one service alone. Pathways are flexible and can be personalized, allowing you to engage how it works best for you.

Wellbeing Add-Ons

Wellbeing Add-Ons can be explored on their own or added to any pathway. Many are peer-led and designed to be interactive and engaging. You might meet one-on-one with a peer counselor, join a group event or hands-on activity, or sign up for a Social Rx adventure that helps you get out and try something new with other students.
