Students can schedule an initial consultation at
caps.msu.edu. During the consultation, a counselor will talk about next steps, which may include information about ongoing services at CAPS, helpful resources, or a referral to a campus partner or community provider based on your unique needs. Their goal is to connect students with the most available and appropriate level of care. See all University Health and Wellbeing services at
