Your Mental Health Matters.
That's Why We're Here.
Student Mental Health
College is a time of tremendous growth, experimentation, and change. The balancing act between school, current events, daily living, and personal growth will challenge you, and you'll also do things you never thought you could. This kind of growth isn't always comfortable. In fact, it can contribute to the overwhelm many students face. That's why we're here. At CAPS, it's our mission to help students thrive. Because the lessons you're learning right now have the power to shape the rest of your life.
Top Reasons Students Come To CAPS:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Family and Friend Concerns
- Adjusting to Life Transitions
CAPS Makes A Difference
Our goal is to help students, and the numbers show we're doing just that. Student feedback from our annual Patient Satisfaction Survey informs every aspect of CAPS. We're continually adapting how we serve students to support their ever-changing needs.

Mental health concerns are prevalent among college students nationwide. They are more aware of their mental health and more willing to talk about it than any generation before.
The more we talk about and support mental health openly and with compassion, the more we can decrease the stigma associated with mental health. And that benefits us all. This data from Active Minds shows just how important this is.
