Wichita State recognizes the importance of mental health and well-being for students. The university offers a variety of resources to support students during challenging times.
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS): CAPS provides individual and group counseling sessions, crisis intervention, and workshops on stress management and coping strategies. Schedule an appointment online or call 316-978-4792.
