Dr. Sheryl Kelly, Coordinator of CAPS Inclusive Excelleance Initative, discussed CAPS support in a recent article, "False hate crime reports spur further concerns campus saftey and inclusivity" in the Michigan Daily.
A lot of students are being impacted by current events, so when they come in, I ask how they are doing in the current campus climate, Kelly said. We have many students that come in who specifically identify that as a problem.

CAPS Director, Todd Sevig Ph.D., shared an update to recent advances in providing support to UM students.
“We are the student counseling center,” he said. “We don’t exist just to exist for me, for the professional staff, and we don’t technically exist for the University. When we wake up in the morning our sole purpose is to care about is you, and your 43,000 other classmates.”

In a recent LSA Dialogue Event, CAPS discussed efforts prior to and after the Election to support students.
“It’s important to note that the election has taken a toll psychologically,” Sevig said. “We are not here to say that if you are feeling strong emotions, then you need therapy. We are here to say that things that could be therapeutic and healing is important. There is no one way of coping or making sense of this is going to work for all of us.”
The Michigan Daily recently covered Todd Sevig, Director of CAPS, in a Central Student Government meeting. The meeting addressed the ways that CAPS is planning to expand mental health services. Sevig is quoted:
It’s crucial that I … as director of CAPS — we, as CAPS — are here, engaging, listening, answering questions,” he said. “In the last approximately 15 years, we’ve almost doubled in size. We are starting a national search for new positions. We have been newly funded, if you will, for six new positions in CAPS.
