Welcome to CAPS!
CAPS is a unit of the division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management of Sonoma State University.
CAPS offers confidential counseling to students experiencing personal
problems that interfere with their academic progress, career or well being.
Brief Therapy (1-8 sessions) is offered through individual, couple, family
or group modalities.
"More than books weighing you down?"
If you have been feeling down lately, you are not alone. According to a recent American College Health Association (ACHA) survey, 43 percent of college students report feeling so depressed they could not function. What's worse: Depression is the leading cause of suicide. In students between the ages of 15-19, suicide is the second leading cause of death; and it is the third leading cause of death for those between the ages of 20-24.
Some common symptoms of depression and anxiety include:
- Changes in sleep and/or appetite
- Problems with concentration
- Fatigue and/or loss of energy
- Decreased interest in activities
- Feeling of worthless, hopelessness, and/or guilt
- Sadness and/or irritability
- Excessive worry
- Muscle tension
- Restlessness, agitation, and/or feeling on edge
During Mental Health Awareness Week (10/6-10/10), Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) will be offering free anonymous screenings for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The screenings will take place at the Stevenson Breezeway on Wednesday (10/8) and Thursday (10/9) from 11:30 to 1:30 both days.
At the screening, you can fill out a questionnaire and talk with a counselor about your personal situation. Even if you don't have a mood or anxiety disorder and are just going through a couple of bad days, you are invited to come take advantage of the screenings and learn about CAPS services. You may learn something that will help you or a friend in the future.
If you are unable to come to the screenings or just prefer to talk with someone one-on-one, you can come to CAPS during our drop-in hours, Monday-Thursday at 12:00 or 3:00, and Fridays at noon. You can also log on at this site under "online screenings" on the nav menu and access our free, anonymous mental health screenings on line.
