FAQs

What is the structure of the Essential Skills Workshops?
Workshops are much like attending a class. Students meet for 1 hour each week. Each week a CAPS clinician will provide attendees with new information and guide students to practice new techniques they can implement in their lives.
Each week will cover a new topic on a rotation. The workshops are designed to be started at any point, so you do not have to wait.

Can I just show up to an Essential Skills Workshop?
No, essential skills workshops are only for CAPS clients, and you will need to be referred to a workshop by a CAPS clinician. If you would like to learn skills to better manage your emotions, you can attend an access visit appointment and let your counselor know. They will then help you determine if an essential skills workshop is a good fit for you.

Is Essential Skills Workshop a good fit?
A workshop may be a good fit for you if:
• You are having a hard time dealing with your anxiety or other emotions.
• You are the type of person who doesn’t just want to talk about your issues
but wants to know what you can do about your situation and how to take
action.
• You are motivated to learn new skills and ready to implement changes on
your own.

Here is what students say:
