Counseling and Psychological Services

CAPS believes that

• All students should have equal access to thriving in the community.
• Each person exists somewhere on a continuum between surviving and thriving.
• Thriving depends on individual balance in conjunction with social and ecological balance.

Some of the aspects of individual balance:

• Physical
• Emotional
• Spiritual
• Intellectual

Some aspects of social and ecological balance:

• The belief that the more one identifies with "others" (people, animals, ecosystems), the more they are able to thrive. See deep ecology, ecopsychology.
• Respect
• Inclusion
• Compassion

To achieve these goals, we offer a variety of services. Learn more about our services using the left hand menu at the top of this webpage.
