On Saturday, November 14th, CAPS and the Central Student Government partnered to host the first Student Mental Health Group Summit.
Many student groups focused on mental health have been created in just the past few years. In a effort to coordinate all these great efforts, CAPS and CSG organized this summit.
Michigan Daily was there to cover the event. See the article written by Caitlin Reedy HERE.
In a recent Michigan Daily article, reporter Katie Penrod describes CAPS new efforts to provide mental health support for UM Students after hours.
Penrod goes on to write, "Partnering with a company called ProtoCall, CAPS will now give students the option to call a mental health hotline after its office in the Michigan Union closes at 7 p.m. The hotline will be open whenever CAPS is not — including weekends and school holidays."

In commenting about the "Embedded Model," CAPS Director Todd Sevig said, “Our goal is to increase support, but not just to increase by doing the same old thing,” Sevig said. “We really wanted to grow in this new way, and that new way is a direct, local service delivery, local meeting within that particular place. And it also meets the needs of the schools and colleges.”
