Licensed professionals provide treatment for anxiety, depression, difficulties with relationships, family problems, food and body image concerns, alcohol and drug concerns, and unanticipated life crises. All currently enrolled U of A students are eligible for CAPS services.
All visits are confidential.
No notation is made on the student's academic record, and no information can be released regarding visits to CAPS unless the student provides a signed release. Under certain circumstances, such as life-threatening situations, minors reporting child abuse, and certain legal subpoenas, there are legal limits to confidentiality. The CAPS secretary will ask you to fill out a brief symptom checklist. The triage counselor will discuss your concern with you and together you will decide on a treatment plan. Subsequent visits are scheduled by appointment, if needed.
