Self-Help Tools

Learning how to manage your mental health is an important step in maintaining your overall well-being, and self-help tools can help guide the process. Resources available come in a variety of methods—whether you’re exploring an app, watching a video, or completing a guided meditation, YOU get to choose your own path and tailor these options specifically to your needs and interests.

When considering which resources to interact with, perhaps you ask yourself what do you need to gain? How do you best learn? How do you like to cope? CAPS has compiled a comprehensive collection of self-directed resources on common mental health concerns for you to explore.
