At Counseling and Psychological Services we aspire to maintain a culture of inclusion. We provide counseling services that are confidential and strive to create a safe environment for students of diverse age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, relationship status, national origin, immigration status, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, body type, and mental and physical ability. We respect and seek to understand the unique intersection of identities that individuals bring to our center, and believe that commitment to diversity directly contributes to the Aims of a BYU Education.

Click the link above to take a free mental health screening questionnaire. These brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a mental health professional. They are completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately following the brief questionnaire you will see your results, recommendations, and key resources.

Before taking this screening, please note that the screening is offered solely for your information and is not monitored by CAPS. Any items endorsed by you or any scale elevations will not be viewed by CAPS faculty or staff. Consequently, if your screening shows that you have had thoughts of suicide in the last two weeks you should contact the crisis resources listed at the bottom of your results page.

BYU Counseling and Psychological Services offers a 5-week premarital workshop, typically offered during Fall semester (October—December) and Spring term (May—June).

To sign up, couples should email their names and request to: premaritalworkshop@byu.edu

Counseling and Psychological Services remains a place of refuge on campus for any who are experiencing distress, including those who have ties to Eastern Europe and who may be experiencing particular turmoil at this time.
