After several years of operating collaboratively, but functioning as administratively separate, I am pleased to announce the reintegration of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) with Student Medical Services and Health Education. This new partnership has been re-named Health and Wellbeing Services, reflecting a renewed focus on supporting student success, with the team working with strengthened collaboration to help students in their efforts to proactively develop overall wellbeing while continuing to respond to our students' critical and growing physical and mental health needs.

Dr. Brian Mistler will lead this redoubled effort and associated multi-department unit, as the Executive Director of Health and Wellbeing Services, along with Dr. Jen Sanford, Director of CAPS and Associate Director of Health and Wellbeing. Physician Dr. Allen Morden remains Medical Director, assisted in leading medical clinic operations by Physician and Associate Medical Director Dr. Jessica VanArsdale. And, Mira Friedman is in the role of Lead for Health Education and Special Projects. 

Health and Wellbeing will be updating their website soon; information about services offered and appropriate contacts continues to be available at http://www.humboldt.edu/health, http://www2.humboldt.edu/counseling/, and http://www2.humboldt.edu/healtheducation/.
