Check-In on Your Well-Being…With CCAPS-Screen
The CCAPS-Screen is a completely anonymous, brief online screening instrument that considers common areas of distress students may experience. It is a user-friendly tool that can help students decide when further evaluation and/or support may be desired or recommended.
The CCAPS-Screen takes approximately 3–5 minutes to complete, with a profile report automatically generated for students to review immediately following completion. Students can decide for themselves the next steps they may want to take in caring for their well-being.
If you are interested in gaining further insight into your results, please contact Counseling Services to schedule an appointment with a licensed Clinical Counselor. Feel free to bring the results of your CCAPS-Screen to the appointment.
The CCAPS-Screen is NOT to be used for:
• Confirmation of a diagnosis
• A substitute for mental health evaluation
• Any emergency situations

Emotional Wellness
Emotional wellness is how you manage the range of feelings that humans experience. Reflect about how you are feeling. How are you doing? Are you happy? Are you feeling frustrated or upset frequently? Negativity is indicative of poor emotional wellness. Don’t hesitate to ask for help and understand that circumstances can change even if it takes time.
