Groups typically require a semester commitment at a cost of $10 per group session. Contact CAPS to see if group treatment could benefit you.
We also offer a variety of FREE workshops. We have developed our workshop series to address many of the issues that bring students to counseling. You do not need to be a current client to attend the workshops. Check our website to learn about the Emotional Health Workshops and view the most up-to-date schedule. In addition to the Emotional Health Workshops, we offer Mindfulness
Practice four times a week and will continue Voices of Discovery .
