Lafene Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
Welcome to CAPS!
As the primary mental health resource for K-State students, CAPS provides a confidential, safe space to process anything that weighs on your mind. Whether you have a personal struggle that you want to work through, a relationship you’d like to improve, a societal issue that is causing you concern, or some other topic on your mind, our dedicated staff are here to listen and help you process anything that is having a psychological impact on you. Our services are open and available to all enrolled K-State students who have paid the student services fee included in their tuition bill.
CAPS provides consultations, workshops, group and individual therapy, as well as referral information for K-State campus partners and the Manhattan community.
Important Details:
- Our services are for eligible students.
