Welcome to CAPS!

SUMMER HOURS 2023:

Starting 6/1/23, Summer Hours for CAPS will be:

Monday-Thursday: 8:30am-5:00pm

The Center will be closed Friday in accordance with the Ithaca College 'Summer Friday' schedule.  At close of business on Thursday (5:00pm), the "After-Hours" Live Counselor will be available by calling 607-274-3136 and selecting Option #5.  Emails or phone messages sent after 5pm on Thursday will be responded to on the following Monday after opening. This schedule will be in effect until the week of August 11.

In an emergency, please contact the IC Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management at 607-274-3333.

Learn about our hybrid of virtual and in-person services or to make an appointment call 607-274-3136 during business hours (8:30am-5:00pm, M-F). 

Depending on individual assessment, professional best practices, and CAPS’ Scope of Practice, we can recommend any number of services represented on the Support Wheel. CAPS' adaptation of Stepped Care 2.0 allows for flexibility, respects that needs change over time, and minimizes the overall wait-time for services.

JED Campus Initiative at Ithaca College

In the Fall of 2020, Ithaca College began the process of becoming a JED Campus. The JED Project is a national nonprofit organization that holds the goals of supporting and protecting the emotional health of our country’s 40 million high school and college students and to reduce the risks of substance abuse and suicide. JED collaborates with schools to create and enhance mental health and suicide prevention programming and systems; develop expert resources and create powerful partnerships so that students have the support they need, when and how they need it; and educate and empower young adults, families and the community to take action.
