We did it! Active Minds had a great success this past Sunday – we passed a resolution at Plenary that would serve to help expand CAPS! We’re hoping that by passing this resolution, administration will see the importance of CAPS to students’ mental health on campus and thus prioritize CAPS’s funding.
As it stands, CAPS does not have enough resources to meet the demands of students, and often students are going way too long without access to medications or a therapist. Additionally, our resolution will hopefully help complete the 2020 strike demand of getting rid of redirecting mental health emergency calls to Campus Safety before the student reaches a trained counselor!
A successful weekend, in all!
