Mental health resources for students
Our students have been through a lot this semester. It’s normal for them to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, uncertainty or conflict at home. If you notice that your student may be struggling emotionally, there are resources on campus that can help.Ìý
CAPS provides a number of virtual services for students, including telehealth counseling appointments, workshops and more. Students can meet with a CAPS counselor by calling 303-492-2277 to set up a drop-in appointment. They can also speak to a counselor through e-Let’s Talk, a free service where students can check in via telehealth for an informal and confidential consultation with a counselor.
CAPS counselors can help provide insight, solutions and information about additional resources. Students commonly visit with concerns about stress, sadness, worry, relationships, academic performance, family issues and financial struggles.
CAPS also provides 24/7 crisis support at 303-492-2277. If you think your student may be in immediate danger, please call 911.
