Counseling Groups
Counseling groups are run exclusively by psychologists. We offer a series of groups each quarter. All groups are confidential and some require a pre-group interview. To register for a group, visit COWELL CENTER | My Student Health Portal or call the front desk (408) 554-4501.
Body Positive Group
Understanding Yourself and Others
Workshops
All of our workshops are designed by psychologists.
Perspective
CAPS practices from a wellness perspective and supports the University's mission to develop the whole person.
Recommendations
CAPS recommends, especially for the fall quarter, programs dealing with adjustment and transitions, relationships (including alcohol and sexuality), body image, and diversity. These are issues that if addressed early on in the year can prevent more serious problems from developing.
