According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 students experience a mental health condition in college and half of college students reported their mental health as below average or poor. Common mental health stressors for college students include anxiety over grades and finances, and burnout. Students often find that such issues impact their ability to succeed in college. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) strives to help students pursue their academic, personal, and career goals by promoting self-advocacy, self-regulation, and developing coping strategies and problem-solving abilities in students. We believe that academic and career success can be facilitated by developing students’ appreciation of the integration of behaviors, thoughts, feelings, belief systems, culture, interpersonal relationships, family structure, and physical health. CAPS offers free, confidential solution-focused counseling with a licensed clinical therapist as well as various mental health workshops and trainings to help students manage their emotional, relational, and behavioral growth. Any CSN student currently enrolled is eligible for CAPS services. CAPS services are available both in-person and online. Click here for more detailed information about CAPS Services.
