Improve Your Mental Well-Being

At USU’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), our mission is to embrace a holistic approach to student development by removing psychological, emotional, and behavioral barriers to learning and success.

 

USU students with access to a campus are eligible for CAPS mental health services. Most services are free to qualified students, confidential, and not part of your academic or university records. Our staff is committed to meeting the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including differences of culture, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, ability, and sexual orientation. We adhere to policies of equal opportunity and nondiscrimination.

How It Works

CAPS typically provides short-term, goal-oriented therapy (6-8 sessions). In general, individual therapy at CAPS is not recommended for students seeking and/or needing intensive or long-term treatment.

Parents and Caregivers

While your student is navigating the college experience, it is important to maintain open lines of communicationm while also giving them the space to explore themselves and make independent decisions. Distress is normal to experience in college, as there are always new things popping up for your loved one to navigate. At the same time as your student figuring out college life, you are also figuring out how to balance giving them space and providing guidance and advice, which can be difficult for a lot of caregivers.
