Events
CAPS collaborates with the Wellness Division and Peer Advocates in Wellness (PAW) to host many fun and informative events and workshops.
Whether it's the Wellness Fair in September, Send Suicide Packing on World Suicide Prevention Day or surveying your mood on National Mood Screening Day, CAPS is available to add insight, support and awareness.
CAPS also sponsors Pet Therapy on campus. These Stress-Less events are held throughout the year. Be on the lookout for our four legged furry friends in their bright therapy vests. Llamas, bunnies, a full sized horse (named Bart) and a pony (named Cowboy), have been known to appear at our events, adding extra fun! Please be on the lookout ...
