Mental Health Support in University Housing

Living on campus can be exciting, but it can also bring its share of challenges. That’s why University Housing partners with the Pat Walker Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to make sure you have easy access to caring, confidential mental health support.

Who We Are:

The Embedded Mental Health Team is here just for students in University Housing. This team includes full-time counselors and counselors-in-residence (CIRs). You might see us around your community events- please feel free to stop by and say hello.

How We Can Help:

We take a proactive, supportive approach to student well-being. Our services are designed to help you manage the ups and downs of college life, from everyday stress to bigger challenges.

• Free short-term individual counseling is available to all U of A students, including everyone living on campus.
• Care Matching Model: Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your needs and helps you feel empowered in your care.
• Additional options: “Let’s Talk” drop-in sessions, group workshops, community referrals, and telehealth.
• Emergency support, 24/7: If you’re ever in crisis, help is always just a phone call away at 479-575-5276.
