We serve students and offer counseling, crisis support, mental health assessment, education, prevention, outreach, community referrals, as well as consultation for faculty and staff.

To make an appointment, visit or call the Student Health Center (707) 654-1170, or message your counselor in the Student Health Portal.

  • CAPS is confidential. 
  • CAPS services are free of charge.
  • Counseling is not a barrier to licensure.
  • 1 in 5 students meet with a counselor each year.

To schedule an appointment with a CAPS counselor, visit or call Student Health Services at 707-654-1170.  CAPS counselors are available M-F 8:30-5 (with some 5pm appointments).  We have a daily drop-in hour from 2-3pm (no appointment needed).

On July 16, the U.S. launched a new three-digit phone number—988—an easy-to-remember way for people to connect with help and support during a mental health, substance use, or suicide crisis. People can call or text 988 or chat online (988lifeline.org) to be connected to trained counselors. 

988 is available across the U.S., but additional crisis services are still developing, will depend on where you live, and will likely change as states implement the full continuum of care. We encourage you to contact your local and state mental health authorities to learn the latest updates in your area. Find more information about the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline:
