DREAMERS
“Dreamers” is the term used to refer to Undocumented, DACA-mented, Tuition Equity, and students of mixed-status families.
CAPS is committed to promoting the safety, well-being, and success of Dreamers while maintaining their confidentiality and identity and we continue to welcome and support students regardless of their immigration status.
We believe that the barriers undocumented, first generation, and/or low-income students face helps weave the fabric of their resilience and courage. We also recognize that at times, these experiences and obligations place additional strain that may impact mood, motivation, self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. In addition, stress related to xenophobia/racism, deportation fears, finances/ employment, and identity concerns can make it hard to find balance.
We provide a safe, confidential space for Dreamers to meet with qualified mental health professionals. Please know that you are welcome here.
