Your mental and emotional health is vitally important. We are here to support you in taking steps towards finding help for your concerns and matching the best resource for your needs. We recognize there is no “one size fits all” approach to supporting student mental health. That's why we provide a variety of options to meet a diversity of needs. Check out the options listed below to see what may be a good fit for you.

Recognizing that some students who are feeling isolated, depressed, or anxious may find it challenging to connect with our resources and verbally express their needs, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is pleased to announce the piloting of Togetherall, an online, anonymous peer-support tool available for free to our students. Togetherall is a clinically moderated, online peer-to-peer mental health community that reaches and empowers a diverse population of students to anonymously seek and provide support

During the break, CAPS is closed from 12/24/21 through 1/2/22.  However, even though CAPS is closed, we are able to offer many resources that students can use throughout the break, from wherever they are, to support their mental health.
