Over the past year, we have experienced many local, national, and global events that have had a profound impact on all of us - whether we are students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators. Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) has created this page as a resource for each of you to access information, tips, and support in helping you cope and deal with traumatic events. In addition, true to our wellness/growth philosophy, we offer you articles on resiliency and flourishing, especially during these difficult times. Please use this page as a "crisis and resilience hub" to link to other sections of our webpage and the web.

Of course, if you need immediate assistance or consultation, do not hesitate to contact us directly at (858) 534-3755, or visit us at Galbraith Hall 190 (below CLICS). During non-business hours, if you are in need of immediate assistance, please call (858) 534-HELP. For more information about our Counseling Services, click here.
