CAPS is committed to creating an environment based on our values of multicultural, multi-disciplinary and multi-theoretical practices that allow our diverse student body to access care, receive high quality services and take positive pathways to mental health. We also strive to find creative ways of reaching out to students and the UM community to nurture and develop a proactive, renewed sense of engagement throughout the campus.
CAPS Spring/Summer groups are open to students who are enrolled for the spring/summer semester and for graduate students with continuous enrollment. Groups require a pre-group meeting with the group facilitator(s). To schedule, email the group facilitator. Group meeting times are to be determined by member availability, unless otherwise noted.
In 2014, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) embarked on a new way of effectively and efficiently distributing mental health services for students across the schools and colleges by creating a community-based model - placing CAPS clinicians inside some of the schools and colleges, known as the embedded model. CAPS counselors are now placed in 13 different Schools and Colleges at UM.

Graduation is both an exciting and stressful time for any student. It involves saying goodbye to a way of life and a familiar place. Graduation may also be saying hello to new exciting possibilities, moving to a new location, new friends, or a challenging graduate/professional program.
CAPS has moved to our Spring/Summer hours for services to students.
Our office will be open Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM-5:00 PM.
Over the Spring/Summer 2019, CAPS will remain in our temporary new location.
