Managing Political Uncertainty
Dear CalPolyPomona students,
With the election just a few days away, it is not uncommon to be experiencing some strong feelings of stress and anxiety. A recent national survey conducted by University of Florida researchers indicated that "more than two-thirds of registered voters describe politics as a 'source of stress'". The news and headlines that surround us daily, along with social media posts, about the cost of living, immigration, abortion, and the war in Gaza amplifies the feelings we have. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is here to support you through this period of political uncertainty. Click on the link below to learn about helpful tips to manage election stress and anxiety.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at CalPolyPomona is a confidential, comprehensive, short-term mental health facility with licensed mental health clinicians/therapists who provide basic clinical services, as defined by California State University's Executive Order No. 1053. Basic clinical services entail short-term individual, group, and couple psychotherapy services; crisis intervention and critical incident debriefing services; outreach services, such as psychoeducational tabling, workshops, and presentations; consultation on student mental health issues to the campus community; and referral services for proper mental health treatment. Services are available to currently enrolled CalPolyPomona students only, and who have paid the mandatory student health fee. We offer both in-person and telehealth services for our campus community.
The mission of Counseling and Psychological Services at CalPolyPomona is to advance student success by promoting community wellness, removing psychological barriers, facilitating self-awareness, and cultivating the personal strengths of CalPolyPomona students through culturally relevant mental health services designed to transform their personal, social, and academic lives. Counseling and Psychological Services is accredited by the International Accreditation of Counseling Services.
