Initial Contact With CAPS
Students who have never utilized our services in the past or are returning after an absence from services can schedule an initial assessment (IA) online at https://myhealth.push.purdue.edu. Our assessment specialists will meet with you for an initial consultation to assess your situation, clarify presenting concerns, and facilitate the matching of services based on your individual need and the variety of resources and types of treatment that we have available. At the end of the IA, you will have a recommended plan and clear next steps to address your concerns.
What to expect:
Initial assessments (IA) are ONE HOUR; half of the time will be spent completing paperwork and the other half with a specialist. Our assessment specialists will meet with you briefly for an initial consultation to assess your situation, clarify presenting concerns, and facilitate the matching of services based on your individual need and the variety of resources and types of treatment that we have available. At the end of the IA, you will have a recommended plan and clear next steps to address your concerns.
When to arrive:
Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time. No need to arrive early for paperwork, as that is already built into the hour you are here for your initial assessment.
Where to go:
Initial assessments take place on the 2nd floor of PUSH. Check in half way down the hallway in Room 224 or 228.
