  • Take a breather and spend some time with our furry friends from @heelinghouse before the game!! Don't miss out on the chance to de-stress and have some fun with CAPS and @masonathletics . Come join us for a paw-some time!

*If there is anything we can do to make the event accessible in order for all to participate, please contact CAPS at 703-993-2380.
  • Boundaries aren’t barriers; they’re like bridges that lead to self-respect and stronger connections! 🌟 

When we set limits, we make room for growth, understanding, and respect for one another. 💙 So don’t forget, it’s perfectly fine to say no sometimes and take care of yourself!
  • On November 23, we honor International Survivors of Suicide Day.  It's really important to remember that your feelings of grief are real, they matter, and they need time to heal. 

This grief is a testament to the love and connections we've shared, highlighting our strength and resilience. 🌿❤️ So let's take a moment to embrace those tears and reflect; it's a heartfelt way to celebrate the impact of those we’ve lost.
  • 🐶 Pawsitively amazing turnout at the puppy yoga event organized by CAPS! 🐾🧘‍♂️ CAPS would like to thank @lostdogandcatrescue @doggynosesandyogaposes and our amazing yoga instructor Kimberly for making this event! 

Thanks to all the students who participated! ❤️ We loved having you!!!
  • Besties, get those 💤's  in! 🌙✨ Amidst the chaotic whirlwind of college life, let's not forget one of the most important self-care ritual: getting enough sleep!! 💤

Black History Month is a time to honor and celebrate Black life and the substantial ways Black individuals have helped shape U.S. history and beyond. To commemorate Black History Month, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is pleased to present Outspoken: An Open Mic Night Event.

Join CAPS for a night of poetry, music, and artwork featuring varied artists from the George Mason and greater DMV area. The event will be held on Thursday February 20th at 6:00pm in the Student Union Building 1 on George Mason University’s campus.

The purpose of this event doubles as an opportunity for students to showcase their work via voice and art, and to be moved from the talent of others by being a member of the audience.

If you would indeed like to be added to the list as a performer, please submit your materials to Dr. Jessica Desalu at jdesalu@gmu.edu by February 10th. Although we welcome pieces that are pertaining to Black mental health and the Black experience, this is not a requirement for performers.

The event is open to all, and light refreshments will be provided. For more information, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/outspokenGMU or please contact Dr. Jessica Desalu at jdesalu@gmu.edu.
