Curated Mental Health Care for Students
Care Pathways & You
Take a breath, we've got you. We designed our Care Pathways to make getting mental health support easier, more approachable, and more effective. Each pathway brings together the best parts of mental health support:
- Mental Health Foundations: one-time skill-building workshops
- Mental Health Connections: weekly group counseling with 4-10 peers and a CAPS counselor
- Mental Health Counseling & Consultation: as-needed one-on-one counseling
- Specialized Care: additional services that may be recommended by your CAPS provider
- Wellbeing Add-Ons: programs and activities that can be used on their own or added to any pathway
Start On Your Pathway
Whatever your goals, there's a pathway for you at CAPS. You can come in with a pathway in mind, explore pathways with a counselor, or work with a counselor to create a pathway of your own.
