UNC Counseling and Psychological Services

CAPS staff is strongly committed to addressing the needs of a diverse student body, as well as continuing to develop multicultural competence among our staff. CAPS values the opportunity for people of every background to have access to our services and be treated with respect and dignity. The professional ethics and standards of the various mental health fields represented at CAPS set a framework for understanding how facets of identity, (e.g., gender, ethnicity, race, sexual/affectional orientation, age, physical and mental abilities, religious beliefs and socioeconomic class), enhance the understanding and treatment of all people. We have an approach to mental health that integrates physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and cultural dimensions of wellness.
