Campus Assistance Program (CAP)
The mission of the LSUHSC Campus Assistance Program (CAP) is to support the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of students, faculty, staff, and immediate family members in order to promote the overall health and effectiveness of the LSUHSC-NO community.
The Campus Assistance Program is a free service provided by LSU Health Sciences Center at New Orleans to assist faculty, staff, residents, students, and their immediate family members in resolving personal, academic or work related problems. Faculty, staff or residents who are enrolled or employed with LSUHSC-NO programs in other cities are also eligible for CAP services.
LSUHSC-NO recognizes that everyone, at sometime, needs a “helping hand” or assistance.
Whether you have a simple or a complex problem, the Campus Assistance Program can help.
A counselor is on call 24 hours a day to assist in time of crisis. If you feel you have an emergency or need immediate
assistance at any time, contact the counselor on call by following the instructions
on the main line (504) 568-8888.
