When should I refer a student to CAPS?
Students can experience mild to severe distress. Please refer a student when they exhibit behaviors that indicate they may need additional psychological support. It is helpful to remind them that services through the CAPS Embedded Therapists are free, confidential, and do not impact their student record. If it is an emergency and Kayla is unavailable, please call (734-764-8312, After Hours Press 0) to consult with the Counselor-on-Duty, call Psychiatric Emergency Services (734-936-5900), or dial 911.
