If you are experiencing an urgent concern or crisis, please call the main CAPS line at (734) 764-8312 (press “0”) for 24/7 access to a counselor and more immediate care.

If you’re interested in longer-term therapy, CAPS has information on their website about finding a provider in the community. They also have resources if you’d prefer self-help at this time.

As a Kinesiology student, you can meet with our embedded counselor or with any other CAPS staff. Please review the staff bio page to see if a different counselor might be a better fit for you based on concerns/identity/schedule.

UWill Teletherapy Services

U-M has partnered with Uwill, a leading virtual counseling service, to offer all students six free counseling appointments per year, without referral. Choose a therapist based on your preferences, find the mode that’s right for you (video, phone, chat, or messaging), and pick a session that fits your schedule (including nights and weekends). Make an appointment at app.uwill.com with your umich email.

BetterYou App

The BetterYou app is available to all Kinesiology students. BetterYou is a digital coach that helps support your goals across all areas of wellness and spend time on the things that matter most. You set goals that are important to you in the areas of physical, social, educational, and mental wellness, and BetterYou runs in the background, providing gentle nudges and rewards (like Amazon gift cards, etc.) along the way that positively influence behaviors. To participate, visit register.betteryou.ai and sign up with your umich email.
