About CAPS
This is an especially exciting time to join our staff. In August 2017, MSU's
Counseling Center officially joined with the Psychiatry unit from our Student
Health Service to become Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS). CAPS moved
into a larger, newly renovated space on the third floor of our Student Health
Services building, where our offices now overlook beautiful brick buildings and
tall, mature trees. As part of our expansion, CAPS has been allocated
additional resources to recruit and hire a number of new mental health
clinicians, and we are in the process of renovating a space for a new satellite
location in the MSU Union. Also starting this summer, all MSU students now have
access to free, confidential, 24/7 online crisis and counseling services
provided by licensed mental health professionals through Morneau Shepell. This
service is specifically geared toward helping domestic and international
college students, and is available in many languages.
The counseling services unit within CAPS remains committed to maintaining our
“university counseling center” identity and traditions, while also fully
embracing the benefits of integration (for us and for students) with our campus
health services. We continue to value our thriving training program, which
includes an APA-accredited doctoral internship and a masters-level training
program.
