Outreach

We are dedicated to increasing awareness of mental health issues for the greater Georgetown University community. Through different forms of outreach programming, we strive to decrease stigma associated with mental health and foster preventative strategies for our students. Some examples of our outreach services include:

  • Workshops on popular topics (e.g. depression, eating disorders, communication, test anxiety and stress management);
  • Introduction to CAPS and Q&A sessions for staff, faculty and students;
  • Seminars and trainings for staff (e.g. RAs);
  • Academic Resource Center webinars and
  • Engelhard Presentations.

If you are interested in requesting outreach programming services for the university community, please contact Dr. Jerimi Vindua for Law Center-specific outreach requests and/or Dr. Shanice Anderson for all other Georgetown outreach requests (i.e., Hilltop, SCS, SOM and Athletics). All outreach requests must be made with at least 3-4 weeks advance notice.

Workshops

Join CAPS for our various workshop series where counselors explore how anxiety, depression, mood and stress management impact your well-being, while guiding you through building skills on these topics. 

Please note: CAPS workshops are primarily held virtually, and those taking place in-person will be held in varying locations across Georgetown’s campuses. Please review if registration is required for your intended workshop(s). The workshops are open to all Georgetown students and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information, please email Dr. Shanice Anderson.

For Law Center-specific workshop inquiries, please email Dr. Jerimi Vindua.
