Black Students
The staff at CAPS continues to be shocked and to grieve the violent deaths of Black and minority individuals. We condemn the systemic racist policies that perpetuate hate, discrimination, violence, and intolerance and we strive towards antiracism. We recognize the impact of the long history of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination has on mental health and well-being and we offer a place to process reactions and racial trauma. We will also work with you to connect you to resources that resonate with you.
