Consultation
Faculty and staff may speak with a CAPS staff member about a student/classroom problem. Discussion may resolve the problem or help the student obtain the proper referral.
Special Events
CAPS offers several special events and programs throughout the year, such as National Depression Screening Day. Please call 734-487-1118 or stop by 313 Snow Health Center for the latest information.
