Counseling & Psychological Services

CAPS will be open for remote services for the week of January 13th - January 17th. In person services at CAPS will not be available. We will be closed on Monday, January 20th for the Martin Luther King, Jr. university holiday, but we will return to in person services on Tuesday, January 21st.

The decision to pivot to remote services allows us to support both the CAPS staff and UCLA student community who are impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfire Emergency in a myriad of ways. Our hearts and thoughts go out to our entire Bruin Community, Los Angeles, and to the recovery ahead.

Unfortunately, professional licensing and telehealth regulations do not allow UCLA CAPS' clinicians to provide mental health services to student clients who are not physically within California at the time of their appointment. If you are not currently in California and have an upcoming CAPS appointment scheduled, please contact your provider and we will prioritize rescheduling upon your return to California.

If you are in need of mental health support during this time, and are not a CAPS client or unable to access your CAPS' services due to being out of state, please see some accessible support and resources below. You may always call CAPS for additional support or with any questions. CAPS counselors will remain available by phone 24 hours per day at the CAPS main number: 310-825-0768.

CAPS CORE Program
~Coming Soon~ 

COmpassionate REsponse (CORE) team is a new CAPS program that will provide mental health response to students in crisis on campus. The CAPS CORE team is comprised of CAPS clinicians and Public Safety Aids who can deliver behavioral health wellness checks, crisis support, and intervention services to registered UCLA students within the perimeters of the Westwood campus. The mission of the CORE program is to improve the response to students experiencing a mental health crisis by dispatching a mobile mental health counseling team, and minimizing the need for law enforcement whenever possible.
