**Response to the DACA announcement **
The announcement of September 5, 2017 that the federal government is ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has generated concern among many across our country. DACA students are valuable members of our EMU community and are welcome here. DACA students and any other EMU students directly affected by this situation are welcome to contact CAPS for counseling or mental health support (734-487-1118). Our services are free, confidential and not part of your EMU educational record.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is dedicated to addressing the mental health needs of students at Eastern Michigan University. Our caring staff provides free counseling using a short-term model. Medication management with our staff psychiatrist is also available for a fee.
