Benefits based on the FTE (100%) include vacation time, sick leave, paid University holidays and health insurance.

 

ABOUT COUNSELING AND PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES (CAPS):

CAPS is located in two locations on campus, at Wardenburg Health Center and the Center for Community (C4C) and serves as the primary mental health service for CU students.  CAPS services include individual therapy, group therapy, wellness workshops, outreach to the CU community, couples therapy, psychological assessment, consultation, urgent care, and medication management. CAPS treats a broad spectrum of psychological health issues, ranging from situational concerns to major mental illness.

CAPS provides psychological healthcare to University of Colorado Boulder students that is both culturally relevant and sensitive so students may become academically proficient, physically healthy, and emotionally/relationally intelligent. CAPS is also committed to providing training to the next generation of psychologists and social workers.

 

 

ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH):

 

Behavioral Health (BH) works collaboratively with CAPS and the medical clinics at CU; providing brief intervention, assessment and consults for the medical clinic, women’s health clinic, and physical therapy and integrative sports medicine.  BH Providers are considered part of the student’s medical team. BH providers work to connect students with appropriate services within CU as well as the Boulder community.

BH clinicians operate out of the Medical Clinic multidisciplinary pods alongside doctors, nurse practitioners and medical assistants. Clinicians provide assessment, brief interventions and referrals for students presenting in the primary care setting.  BH clinicians also provide screening for depression, anxiety and alcohol and other drugs, as well as crisis care.  Providers actively collaborate with medical clinic providers and administrative staff, as well as relevant offices, on and off campus, for referral and outreach purposes.

 

TRAINING:

Training for fellows includes weekly seminars on specific mental health topics, weekly multidisciplinary peer consultation, one-hour weekly supervision with an LCSW focused on the Fellow’s track, and secondary supervision as needed by other senior staff and specialists in the clinic. All Fellows also attend CAPS staff meetings and trainings.

 

IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR CAPS:

The ideal candidate is a recent MSW graduate who has an educational background in evidenced based psychotherapy practices and whose goal is to acquire necessary clinical/supervision hours for licensure.  The candidate should also have relevant and significant clinical experience, providing direct psychotherapy services, including crisis assessment and disposition.

The ideal candidate is interested in working on a multidisciplinary team, is familiar with electronic medical records, and is comfortable with managing a busy and demanding clinical schedule.
