Staff and Faculty
The Student Wellness Services (SWS) Center will undergo repairs over Spring Recess and into the beginning of the Spring 2025 term to address damage sustained during the January windstorm.
During this time, Health Services will provide in-person care at 1245 Arden Road starting 3/17 and will offer virtual visits with our providers. Visits can be booked online in the Student Health Portal or by calling 626-395-6393.
Counseling Services will offer virtual visits with our clinicians starting 3/20/25. Visits can be booked by calling 626-395-8331. Urgent in-person requests can be accommodated after a telephone consultation with a clinician. Please call with any questions or concerns.
All repair work is expected to be completed by April 4, with a return to 1239 Arden Road planned after that date, pending weather conditions.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to restore our space.
Student Wellness Services are available to enrolled students only and we are unable to provide physical or mental health services to staff and faculty. However, there are other resources available at Caltech:
Staff and Faculty Consultation Center
If you are a staff or faculty member who is in need of counseling services or other support for yourself, please visit the Staff and Faculty Consultation Center.
Caltech Connect - Suicide Prevention Training
Caltech Connect training is a 2-hour interactive experience designed to give participants practical skills for having supportive conversations and making referrals to resources for those in crisis.
Caltech Connect is highly interactive, as participants engage in multiple exercises throughout the training to increase both their skills and awareness concerning the emotional intensity of responding to suicidal college students. The training culminates with a role play, in which participants are given the opportunity to practice the skills they are taught during the course of the training.
