The SCU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Liaisons program aims to 1) ensure that the SCU community (staff, faculty, and students) has accurate and updated information about current CAPS services, the CAPS referral process and CAPS outreach offerings and 2) increase students' access to CAPS.
The CAPS Liaisons Program values the relationships that campus partners have with students and understands that campus partners are essential allies in identifying and connecting students to mental health resources. The CAPS Liaisons Program serves as one of CAPS' central purposes of increasing access to mental health resources for all students and additionally aims to build collaborative partnerships with campus partners.
