U-M Counseling and Psychological Services |

Welcome to CAPS and to the Fall Semester. CAPS is open during the pandemic with a few adjustments for safety. Our services are mostly virtual due to these safety considerations of our community and also for clinical effectiveness. These services include tele-counseling, crisis support, and virtual outreach. 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.

Our Front Desk (Michigan Union 4th Floor) is open and ready to help support you -- staff members are available both onsite and remotely throughout the day to assist you with your needs (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm), answer questions, and get you to the right place. They can be reached by phone at: (734) 764-8312.

CAPS has a limited number of private spaces available for students to connect with their counselor via telecounseling. Please contact the front desk for more information on those private spaces. CAPS After Hours remains available for urgent support when CAPS is not open.

We are happy to now offer online scheduling! Please see THIS page for more information.

Updates will be maintained via our Pandemic FAQ page.

Elect to Express: An Art Workshop

CAPS is hosting a virtual 60-min expressive healing workshop for students. In this workshop we will learn to use expressive art as a means of processing and understanding our complex feelings around the upcoming election, navigating multiple pandemics, and building a sense of community and connection with one another.

Facilitators will provide specific prompts to help jumpstart the creative process and help guide discussion. Please know you do not need to be an artist to participate. It’s about the process, not the product.

#EngineerPositivity

From the global pandemic to enduring systemic racism and injustices, our communities have braved the negative impacts on our collective mental health. During these unprecedented times, we need to bolster our strength and resilience. In light of these challenging days and the uncertainty that lies ahead, CAPS and the Office of Student Affairs in the College of Engineering partnered together to launch the #EngineerPositivity campaign, a virtual take on the annual Positive Chalking event (now in its 5th year!).

First Year Guide

U-M Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) welcomes all of our 1st year students including those who are living on campus and those who are located remotely. We are happy to launch a new resource created exclusively for you: “Go Blue! A New Student’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving at U-M: Mental Health Tips.”

Private Counseling Rooms at CAPS

Providing confidential services is essential to the work we do at CAPS. Some students may find it challenging to find a private space for their CAPS tele-counseling sessions to take place.

"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired”*

Our collective mental health depends on our acknowledgement and affirmation that "Black Lives Matter" because the dignity and worth of every life demands this be true. The need to affirm that “Black Lives Matter,” demonstrated in frequent protests, says a lot about who we are, our culture, and our society. We at CAPS believe the outrage is real, warranted, necessary, and brave. We would like to acknowledge the emotions that our UM community is experiencing after the senseless killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery.
