Services We Provide:

We are here to help. We provide free, short-term confidential mental health counseling to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ students at the Galloway Campus, Atlantic City Campus, or via telehealth. If the needs of students require help from outside providers, appropriate referrals will be made.

Education, outreach, and counseling services are provided by clinically licensed (or license-eligible) social workers and professional counselors, as well as clinical supervised graduate level interns. Our services are provided in a confidential environment in which you may explore and resolve issues of concern.

Individual Counseling

Life's struggles can often have a negative impact on our academic performance. Students can meet for individual counseling to discuss a number of mental health needs. Please be aware that CAPS provides short term counseling and may recommend an outside practitioner if the issues require a higher level of care.

Psychiatric Services

Students may benefit from psychiatric evaluation and/or medication monitoring as part of their larger mental health treatment. Students must see a CAPS counselor first in order to receive psychiatry services at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. Please be aware that students must attend their scheduled appointments to receive medication refills. If a student misses their scheduled appointment, medication can not be guaranteed.

Uwill

Uwill offers students free immediate access to teletherapy, a direct crisis connection, and wellness programming through its easy to use online platform. Uwill is Private. Secure. Confidential.
