Mission Statement

The mission of Counseling and Wellness Services is to enhance the experience of students by promoting their psychological wellbeing and social development. We offer individual and group counseling, workshops, outreach programs, peer support programs, crisis management and referral services. CAWS is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and multicultural community in collaboration with students, faculty, staff and various units of the university.
 
It is important to CAWS that we provide our services from a position of cultural humility, where we respect the experiences of each student as it relates to their cultural identities. These identities can include consideration of ethnicity, race, national origin, faith, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodiversity, and more. It is our aim to create an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment for all.
