Culture of Caring

CAPS recognizes that many KU students are being impacted by recent and historical events. We hold firm to our Jayhawk Values of unity, innovation, inclusion, and engagement. Our staff are here to help students navigate through these times and understand that each of us is impacted in our own individual and unique ways.

If you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed, please reach out for support. Drop-in appointments are available, just come into our office Monday through Friday from 10 am - 3 pm. If your needs are urgent please walk into the office. After hours, you may also access support by calling or texting 988.
