CAPS-NOW works to decrease the two to three-week wait to get an appointment at CAPS, according to the website.
To use the new service, call 812-855-5711 to set up an assessment appointment within 48 hours after the initial call. The counselor helps students find the proper CAPS service after discussing what they need help with.
The service is free if the student has paid the IU Health fee.
Counselors may suggest a CAPS emergency service if the problem is severe, a counseling appointment in one to two weeks, group counseling, a meditation session, “A Conversation on Alcohol" discussion or a CAPS workshop.
