Let's Talk in Community

Main content start

“Let’s Talk in Community” sessions offer a way to meet with a CAPS counselor for a short, informal 1:1 consultation. These sessions are offered in partnership with some Stanford community centers and programs. CAPS counselors can listen to specific problems in your life, help you consider new ways for relating to or working with a problem or situation, provide resource information and mental health education, and give you a sense of what it is like to meet with a member of the CAPS staff. Most sessions are by Zoom, but some locations may offer in-person options (please check the Vaden Portal for availability).
