For non-local or on-line CPS students, you may access mental health resources by:

  • Asking your health care provider for referrals for psychotherapists or psychiatrists in your area. If you don't have health insurance, ask if the therapist offers a sliding fee scale or payment plan.
  • Call your health insurance company for a list of psychotherapists or psychiatrists on their panel.
  • Find out if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). They provide a limited number of free, confidential sessions with licensed psychotherapists.
  • Call your local mental health center for referrals.

If you have an emergency situation, go to the nearest emergency room, or dial 911.
