NOTICE TO CLIENTS

As you may be aware, the World Health Organization has declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. As the nation is working to minimize the spread of the virus, UCR Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is following local, state, and national guidance regarding contingency planning related to our delivery of services.

Currently, CAPS is operating via TeleMental Health sessions only (secure videoconferencing and phone sessions).  As we have recently transitioned to a remote Telemental Health platform, we ask for patience as we navigate  the new platform and are making every effort to streamline the process of getting connected to a clinician for a remote session. 

Your well-being is a top priority, and we want to provide you with as much information as possible to allow you to make informed decisions about your needs and continued clinical care. 

Alternate Options:

1. Use Live Health Online

• Easy and convenient access. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer with a camera and internet access.
• Zero out of pocket for those with UCSHIP for psychiatry and therapy.
• Short wait times. Most appointments are available within the same week.
• Available to non-UCSHIP insurance plans. Please check to see if your plan has this benefit.

2. Use Self-Help Tools mentalhealth.ucr.edu

3. Use TAO

• Self help, self-guided: Think of TAO as an online library of engaging, interactive programs to learn life skills and to help you bounce back from disappointments or stumbling blocks in life. As you watch videos and engage with our interactive components, you will gain the knowledge, self-awareness, and skills you need to achieve your goals.
• Flexible to meet your needs: You can complete TAO at your own pace, whether that is just one session a day, or perhaps two whole modules. It is entirely up to you.
• Wide variety to choose from: Using TAO, you will learn from different modules you chose to use! Some of the biggest challenges facing students these days are available; modules on depression, anxiety, anger, stress management and more.

As always, after hours crisis/consultation support will continue to be available. You can reach these services by calling CAPS main line (951) 827-5531 and selecting option 1 or calling the direct line at (877) 211-3684.
