Mental Health Support: Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
Oberlin College offers a range of mental health support services to its students, both on and off campus. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Oberlin College facilitates referrals to various support services. You can request educational outreach, workshops, and CAPS presence at events using a specific form.
For those seeking individual counselling, rest assured that both individual and couples sessions are 50 minutes long. If group therapy is more your style, group counselling sessions typically last between 50-80 minutes.
Oberlin College has partnered with University Hospitals of Cleveland for psychiatric services. Psychiatrists are available three days a week for assessment and medication monitoring. In case of an emergency, same-day walk-in assessments are provided on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The counselor's walk-in service is available on Monday-Friday from 9AM-11AM and 1PM-3PM. If you prefer teletherapy, the UWill partnership offers this option to all students, and you can sign up using your OCC email.
Information about group offerings for Spring 2025 can be found on the CAPS website. However, it's worth noting that the search results do not provide specific information about the group and support spaces offerings for that term. To find detailed and current offerings, it is recommended to visit the Oberlin College Counseling Services website directly or contact the Counseling Services office at Oberlin College.
Lastly, CAPS staff welcomes consultations with faculty, staff, parents, and students who have concerns about someone else. They are here to help and support the Oberlin College community in any way they can.
