Welcome to CAPS!
*Statement from CAPS regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict*
The staff at Counseling and Psychological Services are deeply dismayed by the continuing conflict in Gaza and Israel.. We are keenly aware of the psychological and emotional toll this devastating conflict is taking within the Jewish community on campus. We are also aware that students of Palestinian descent on campus are experiencing distress in relation to this conflict. Violence, hatred, and prejudice in all forms is traumatizing to all who are touched by it. A large part of our role at CAPS is to support IC students in coping through, and healing from, such traumatic times as these.
To that end, CAPS offers walk-in hours daily, during normal business hours, to ensure increased accessibility for students during this difficult time. Students are also encouraged to use our Let’s Talk (non-crisis drop-in consultation) , and After-Hours counseling services, as other alternatives for mental health support. While it is uncertain how long the Israel-Hamas War will continue, please know that CAPS is a continuing resource for students for the duration of this conflict and beyond.
