There is no right or wrong option. We encourage you to reach out to the Áñ—†ÊÓƵ support service that is right for you. Both CAPS and TimelyCare are equipped to meet a variety of mental and emotional health needs and can also assist you in getting connected to other services, if needed. Since TimelyCare offers evening and weekend appointments, it might be a good option for students who would like to access a provider outside CAPS’ normal office hours. 

If you are still not sure which option is best for you, you can initiate services with CAPS and a counselor can assist you in making that decision.
