Counseling
Counseling & Psychological Services
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 students experience a mental health condition in college and half of college students reported their mental health as below average or poor. Common mental health stressors for college students include anxiety over grades and finances and burnout.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at CSN exists to offer free and confidential psychological services to help students manage their emotional, relational and behavioral growth. Any CSN Student currently enrolled is eligible for CAPS Services and CAPS strives to help students pursue their academic, personal and career goals.
Our Vision is to promote the personal and emotional growth, coping ability, problem-solving ability, and self-management of CSN student services. We believe that academic and career success can be facilitated by developing students’ appreciation of the integration of behaviors, belief systems, emotions, interpersonal interactions and even their own health issues. Counseling and Psychological Services strives to help students to pursue their academic, personal and career goals. Any CSN Student currently enrolled is eligible for CAPS Services.
