If you are interested in having a CAPS staff member come to your class or organization meeting, we have a few options for you. Please read through carefully.
If you are interested in a presentation on a general mental health topic, please first check out the Wellness Workshop offerings through the Center for Wellness Promotion. These have been developed in consultation with CAPS and are largely provided by CWP Peer Educators. All Wellness Workshops include information about how to connect with CAPS and other wellness services on campus. Information about Wellness Workshops can be found here and you can request a Wellness Workshop here.
If you have reviewed Wellness Workshop offerings, but none fit your particular needs, you can submit a request for a specialized program. Requests do require 4 weeks advance notice to allow adequate time for staffing. To submit a request for a specialized program, please complete this form.
For programs geared towards faculty/staff, please review Center for Wellness Promotion training opportunities.
If an immediate need arises you can contact us directly at caps@charlotte.edu and we can work with you to try and meet your needs.
