Individual counseling provides students the opportunity to meet with a provider and collaboratively work to determine and agree upon goals of treatment in a one-on-one setting.
Our Group Services include group therapy and discussion groups with a variety of goals that aim to promote wellbeing. Research demonstrates that group therapy is equally effective as individual therapy and is often the treatment of choice for student issues.
We provide a wide range of interactive, skill-building workshops on various mental health topics for the entire Duke community.
Our primary goal is to ensure students have access to the best possible care based on their unique needs and sometimes this means working with a professional outside of CAPS. To start, you can meet with our referral coordinator or browse our list of community providers.

In response to growing concerns about keeping health information private, Congress passed The Health Insurance standards to protect an individual's personal health information. Most health-care providers in the country were required to implement these standards by April 14, 2003.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, requires health care professionals to protect privacy and create standards for electronic transfers of health data. The Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services will enforce the regulations and impose penalties on institutions that do not make a good-faith effort on privacy and security. HIPAA came about because of the public's concern about how health care information is used. HIPAA gives patients more control over their own health information.
Duke Health Enterprise (DHE) is taking steps to provide you, our patient, with these patient rights, which include the right:
HIPAA requires health care providers like DHE to follow certain rules to protect the privacy of patients' health information. For instance, DHE employees are not allowed to access information on patients unless they need the information to perform their jobs. Employees have received training on how to protect patient information, whether that information is spoken, on paper, or kept in a computer.
The Duke Health Enterprise is participating in this effort along with the majority of other health-care providers in the United States. Compliance with the HIPAA privacy rule is important to continuing our tradition of patient confidentiality.
At Duke, patients have a right to privacy! If you have a question about HIPAA or wish to report a privacy concern, please call 1-800-688-1867.
