The University has informed the UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services’ (CAPS) to expect increased activity on campus between Wednesday February 26 through Friday February 28, which may result in potential staff shortages on these dates. This may result in a potential CAPS' staffing shortage, which may impact our Counseling Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist services.

CAPS remains committed to student safety and care. CAPS will be open with curtailed clinical services Wednesday 9am-5pm and Thursday/Friday 8am-5pm.

• Therapy Services. Therapy services (individual and/or group) will likely be affected by staff shortages. Students will be contacted the morning of the scheduled appointment IF the appointment needs to be rescheduled. If you are not sure of the status of your appointment, please feel free to contact us at our main number (310) 825-0768. Please note: cancelled appointments due to staff shortages during this period will not incur any charge.
