Purpose: Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) works with students at the University of Arkansas to help them resolve problems that arise during a given semester. CAPS helps students understand themselves and promote personal growth. CAPS staff help students develop more fulfilling relationships with their friends, families and peers. They also help with other mental health issues. Population: CAPS provides services to all students attending the University of Arkansas. The first requirement for service is that the client be a student and attend the University of Arkansas in the semester in which services are requested. The second requirement is that each student pay the medical fee, which this semester is eighty-five dollars, and ensure that it is paid each semester. However, there is an exception: the clinic will see anyone in the event of a crisis or emergency that includes harm (suicidal ideation event) to themselves or someone else (homicidal ideation event). Funding: The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) program receives funding only from the eighty-five dollar health fee that each student attending the University of Arkansas pays each semester. This is due to how the organization is classified under the Pat Walker Health Center. The University of Arkansas Steering Committee has approved the expansion of the CAPS program and increased staffing, but the CAPS program is charged with finding financial funding to expand and increase the services provided in the future. The CAPS program's daily budget is very limited and they are only able to offer so many services and so much time per day. Operation/Services: The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) program runs until... half of card ......at the first consultation and the first three without compensation then they charge a fee that would substantially lower the rate for the student compared to other community services in Fayetteville and the surrounding area, such as $5-20 per session compared to The average community fee per session is anywhere from $50-$250 per session. Apply the same system to group therapy sessions, and it could create considerable revenue for the CAPS program. These funds could help expand available services and increase the time frame and number of students attended by a substantial number. Once CAPS growth increases, they will be able to create other services with low fees to compound this, which will allow them to lower overall fees to around $5-10 per session after starting a little higher, like a session of 15-20 dollars.Works Citedhttp:// https://health.uark.edu/caps.php
