How We Can Help
On-Campus Resources
For Students
Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)
CAPS provides short-term and crisis counseling services to students at SJSU. For more information regarding CAPS' services, please visit their website at https://www.sjsu.edu/counseling/
To request an appointment, please call (408) 924-5910.
Student Health Center
We encourage students who have experienced a sexual assault or dating/domestic violence to seek medical services. The Student Health Center can provide STI testing, pregnancy testing, and general health and wellness check-ups.
To schedule an appointment, visit their website at https://www.sjsu.edu/studenthealth/ or call 408-924-6122.
Please note, SJSU Student Health Center does not provide forensic evidence collection, such as a sexual assault forensic exam (often called a "rape kit"). If you are in need of a forensic exam, please visit the Santa Clara County Valley Medical Center Emergency Department or call the SART Coordinator at 408-885-6466.
