Crisis Intervention Services
CAPS clinicians are available to assist students, faculty, staff, and administrators for any campus crises. We can come to any site on campus in order to speak to individuals or groups following a crisis. Feel free to contact us during regular business hours at 916-278-6416. Should faculty, staff, or administrators critically need to reach us after hours, please contact your Vice President, who can reach us through the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Staff, faculty, and administrators may also receive assistance through the Employee Assistance Program at 916-278-5018. More information about their services is at: http://www.csus.edu/eapprogr/.
While we are available, we also do not want to impose. Research shows that individual often underestimate the resilience of those who face a crisis or trauma. Support by friends, peers, colleagues, and family can often be most beneficial.
