Outreach

CAPS is committed to providing outreach to the MSU community focused on prevention, wellness, and mental health education. We offer a wide variety of seminars for classes, campus organizations/clubs, residence halls, athletic teams, and campus departments. These are intended to help students by addressing personal, emotional, and academic concerns. To strengthen our prevention and education efforts, we often collaborate with the other entities in our Student Health Partners team to offer comprehensive and relevant workshops for the MSU community.

CAPS staff are knowledgeable and experienced in workshops, and present in a variety of different formats to make them fun, informative, and interesting!
