WHAT WE DO
CAPS is committed to supporting University of Arkansas students by offering a wide range of mental health care services. We offer critical mental health services such as short-term individual counseling, group counseling, 24/7 emergency mental health services, and case management.
CAPS programs and services are designed to meet the academic, developmental, and preventive needs of the university community. CAPS is also available to provide consultative services and outreach presentations to faculty and staff as requested and available. Almost all services provided by CAPS are covered by the Student Health and Wellness Fee.
View the CAPS Services page for information for getting started and what to expect. This page also explains the CAPS Care Matching Model, which is designed to identify an individualized plan to promote student autonomy and empowerment in planning their care.
