Lafene Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

We know that the need for support doesn’t end when our doors close. Some days, the stress feels heavier. Some nights, the worries won’t turn off. And sometimes, you just need to know that someone is there to listen right now.

That’s why CAPS has partnered with TimelyCare—so you have free, 24/7 access to care and support designed for the challenges of student life. Whether you’re feeling anxious before an exam, dealing with loneliness, or going through a tough moment, help is just a tap away—anytime, anywhere.

We encourage you to sign up now, so when life gets overwhelming, you’ll already have a place to turn. Register with your K-State email at timelycare.com/kstate. Download the app—so you’re ready whenever you need it. You deserve to feel supported—in every moment, every day. We’re here to make sure you do. If you are unsure how TimelyCare works or just want to talk about your options, reach out—we’ll help you get set up.

If you are in a crisis and need help now, call 785-626-8878. You can talk to someone trained to help with urgent situations—any time, no app, no login, no delay.

Welcome to CAPS!

As the primary mental health resource for K-State students, CAPS provides a confidential, safe space to process anything that weighs on your mind. Whether you have a personal struggle that you want to work through, a relationship you’d like to improve, a societal issue that is causing you concern, or some other topic on your mind, our dedicated staff are here to listen and help you process anything that is having a psychological impact on you. Our services are open and available to all enrolled K-State students who have paid the student services fee included in their tuition bill.

CAPS provides consultations, workshops, group and individual therapy, as well as referral information for K-State campus partners and the Manhattan community.

Important Details:

• Our services are for eligible students.
• Our therapists are licensed in Kansas and only able to provide services to students who are in Kansas at the time of the services. Out of state students can find information about finding a therapist here.
