Our mission within CAPS is to provide the highest quality outreach and clinical services to promote the emotional, relational and academic potential of all students including preparing the student to build capacity in the community and advance social justice.
We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment in which you can openly explore your concerns and professional development. CAPS is committed to addressing mental illness stigma and the complexities of intersectional identities by creating a welcoming and affirming environment for the UTA community. We celebrate and honor the uniqueness and diversity of all individuals. We promote social justice and inclusivity throughout UTA and the broader global community through our clinical, outreach, and training services.
CAPS utilizes a short-term model, and our services are goal-focused and brief. Our services focus on evidence-based resources, solutions and strategies to effectively resolve personal and academic challenges and assist in restoring mental wellness functioning. We also assist the student by referring them to practitioners in the community if their identified areas will improve with long-term care.
CAPS is committed to assisting students in understanding a range of psychological concerns holistically that impact quality of life, academic performance and influence the social determinants of health. We strive to provide opportunities to work at the micro and macro level to develop and implement effective interventions, programs, and policies specific to addressing mental illness stigma and improving mental well-being to assist our student population in thriving.
