Some concerns require an in-person appointment.  If you require (or simply prefer) in-person care, you should make an appointment with a CAPS provider during our business hours.

How do the two services coordinate care?

How do the two services coordinate care?

If you meet with a TimelyCare provider during the academic year and it is determined that an in-person visit is needed, TimelyCare mental health clinicians will refer back to CAPS to transition your care whenever indicated or to supplement your care, for example with a CAPS group or case management services. Your providers at SHC will have documentation from your TimelyCare visits so that we can provide well coordinated and integrated care. 

When CAPS is closed (such as during university breaks) and you are receiving care through TimelyCare, there will be times when additional support is needed. TimelyCare providers can make community referrals as appropriate.
