Peer Counselors
CAPS peer counselors are U of A students who are trained to talk with other students about various mental health related topics. Peer counselors help by identifying coping skills, problem-solving, and recommending campus resources that could be a good fit for their peers. They are provided with in depth training and support to help navigate their positions.
Sober & Thriving

WellCats work to promote Campus Health services, events, and programs to help Wildcats connect with resources for general and mental health wellness. WellCats often table, host art activities, host therapy animals event, and support with outreach activities.
Campus Health Student Service (CHSS) Board
The student groups above are all part of CHSS Board and work to advocate for student health needs, plan health related events, and share information between groups with similar interests.
Each group listed has representatives attend meetings in order to broaden student connection and collaboration. In addition to Campus Health student groups, CHSS Board includes the Cats After Dark, UAEMS, PPGEN, and TACO. Read more about these groups below.
If you are a member of any of the groups on this page, let your leads know if you're interested in attended CHSS Board.

Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGen)
Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGen) is a national network of youth reproductive justice advocates that operate within Planned Parenthood’s “advocacy branch.” Rather then providing healthcare services ourselves, we engage in the advocacy that makes reproductive healthcare possible! Some of the ways our University of Arizona chapter engages with this advocacy is through education, reproductive health campaigns, distribution of sexual health materials, and creating community.
Team Awareness combatting Overdose (TACO)
TACO is national organization that develops student-led clubs and provides peer-to-peer education around substance use, making informed decisions, and up to date research.
