Student Wellness Services

Student Wellness Services is committed to supporting the health and emotional well-being of Caltech students. Through individualized treatment planning, consultation, and outreach, we provide direct services and community-level interventions to improve student wellness and allow students to focus on their pursuit of academic success and holistic development. We are committed to meeting students where they are, understanding and affirming all aspects of their intersecting identities, and supporting individual agency and engagement in health and wellness through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion.

We at SWS are deeply saddened by the violence in our neighborhood, our state, and our nation this week. What should have been a time of celebration, community, and hope for the new year has become a time of shock and heartbreak. News of the shootings in California and the video of Tyre Nichols' fatal encounter with five Memphis police officers may give rise to intense feelings of grief, anger, fear, and sadness. Counseling Services staff is available for support and as a space to process the myriad of emotions that may arise. Please call us at (626) 395-8331 if you'd like to set up a time to talk.
