Topical Presentations
Clinical therapists are available to provide workshops, seminars, and presentations to groups of 10 or more UTPA students, staff, or faculty. CaPS can also develop presentations on topics not listed below by focusing on your group's needs. Counseling and Psychological Services cannot guarantee that all requests will be met due to CaPS' staffing needs and therapist availability. See a list of sample presentation topics.
As part of the SAMHSA Campus Suicide Prevention Grant and UTPA's violence prevention efforts, CaPS is offering a 90 minute QPR "Question, Persuade, and Refer" training for interested groups. See a description of QPR.
Requests may be made by contacting the Director of CaPS at minimum 2 weeks in advance with date/time requested, presentation topic, audience (group and group size), and location. The Director may be reached at 381-2574 or counseling@utpa.edu.
