CAPS Commitment to Diversity

Changes in our country are happening rapidly. Recent acts of violence, increases in hate crimes, discrimination against marginalized communities, changes to national policies, and the current political climate have caused many students to experience distress, regardless of their political viewpoint.

Support for Students and Staff

September 21, 2018
You may have heard or read news about a UC Berkeley employee named Roy Waller who was arrested and charged with a series of rapes that occurred more than a decade ago in several Northern California communities. He is currently in custody in Sacramento. He is an employee in the UC Berkeley Environment, Health, and Safety Department and is on investigative leave. Needless to say, this news is shocking. None of the crimes he is alleged to have committed took place on or near campus, but this is nonetheless deeply unsettling. We are aware that this will have a significant impact on campus, within University Health Services, and on members of our community, particularly for those already living with trauma.

Taking care of yourself and your community

September 25, 2017

Free Speech Week events, increased security on campus and the intense media focus on UC Berkeley are impacting our students. Constant exposure to negative and threatening situations and environments has been linked to confusion, anxiety, sadness, helplessness, difficulty focusing, and poor sleep. CAPS would like to remind everyone that seeking support is a sign of strength, courage, and resiliency, not a sign of weakness. If you or someone you care about wants or needs support, we encourage you to talk to a CAPS counselor or...
