At ¶¶Òõ̽̽ we recognize that wellbeing looks different for everyone and that mental wellbeing is about much more than access to mental health care services. While CAPS plays an important role in supporting clinical mental health, there are many other resources on campus that also support mental health and wellbeing.

Supporting someone in crisis
Body
When helping someone in crisis or distress it can be hard to know what level of support they need. Take time to assess the situation by asking questions. Listening non-judgmentally and staying calm can assist you in getting to the most helpful response. Sometimes it requires calling 988 or 911. Sometimes all someone needs is someone to sit with while they are upset and to validate how they are feeling.
