Call Health Services

Call Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

Schedule an appointment with Health Education and Promotion

To make an appointment at Health Services or CAPS, you'll need to make a phone call and be prepared to answer questions about your legal and preferred name, RISD ID number, phone number, preferred appointment times and the concern you have.

If you are making an appointment with CAPS, your first appointment will be an intake appointment to identify how your provider can best support you.
