Office of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

CAPS Cultural Competence

Counseling and Psychological Services has diversified its staff (45% are staff of color) and expanded resources for culturally competent services. In addition, CAPS staff members have initiated new outreach opportunities at the Brown Center for Students of Color, Sarah Doyle Women’s Center and LGBTQ Center. They have additionally engaged in a yearlong process to explore an integrated, holistic vision of health and wellness, while simultaneously considering the efficacy of space and geography of offices and resources on campus from a health and wellness perspective.
