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.
For many, the recent Supreme Court hearings have brought a range of reactions, including those who have experience with sexual assault. In courageously telling her story, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, has given the opportunity for other survivors to open up about their truths and begin their own healing process.
CAPS will be open during Fall Break (October 15th and 16th) from 8am-5pm. This includes our urgent and crisis services. Click HERE for more information on "When You Can Be Seen."
CAPS will resume normal hours starting Wednesday October 17th.
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 8 different Schools and Colleges at UM.
Find more information (including CAPS Embedded Staff, Confidentiality, and more) about the Embedded Model HERE.
A recent article on the UM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion web page has featured CAPS efforts to increase mental health support on campus. Every student receives an Mcard to serve as their UM ID card for their career here at U of M. Now, the Mcard has CAPS After Hours Information on the back.
