UNLV Support Team
If you feel concerned about a student or believe a student may be in distress, you may refer them to the UNLV Support Team, an integrated team of professionals on campus committed to helping students connect with resources on campus that will support them with overall academic and psychosocial success.
Consultation
CAPS aims to create a campus safety network where faculty and staff can proactively respond to students of concern by bringing students to essential support services on campus. Faculty or staff who are concerned about a student and would like to consult may call 702-895-3627 and request to speak with a counselor. CAPS also collaborates with several offices and departments on campus to provide consultation and outreach services on topics relevant to student wellness, professional development, and mental health concerns.
Therapy Assistance Online (TAO)
UNLV has partnered with TAO Connect, a digital platform aimed at making behavioral health therapy more accessible, efficient and effective. Through TAO Connect, members of the UNLV community have access to self-help tools that allow them to work toward improving their behavioral health on their own schedule.
Through TAO’s completely self-directed, self-help app and online program, users are provided over 150 brief, effective, educational sessions covering over 50 common topics and skills related to mental health, wellness, and substance use issues. TAO Includes interactive sessions, mindfulness exercises and practice tools all aimed at helping UNLV students, faculty, and staff achieve their goals. Based on user interaction and the completion of modules, the app sends users reminders and encouragement in the form of notifications and messages to their phone.
TAO Connect is available for free to all university students and faculty members. If you are a student and would like to register for TAO, or to learn more about TAO and its technology, please visit www.TAOConnect.org.
