The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the University of Texas Medical Branch is strongly committed to promoting the healthy development of our student body. We are committed to our broadly represented community regardless of age, national origin, racial or cultural background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religious beliefs, socioeconomic status, mental abilities, veteran status, and physical abilities. We are committed to helping students from all backgrounds achieve their personal and academic goals. We are committed to providing a safe, affirming, and trusting environment where all students are welcomed, respected, and appreciated.
UTMB CAPS strives to create an environment characterized by inclusiveness and treating others with respect. The staff at CAPS commits to our own continued growth in understanding our broad community and its issues and strives to integrate multicultural awareness into all aspects of our work. We encourage professional self-exploration, taking responsibility, reciprocal feedback, and multicultural skill development among all staff members. We believe that this exploration will allow staff to learn and grow and enhance the services we provide to our student population. We also believe that learning to be sensitive to others enhances staff members and allows us to provide the highest quality of care.
