Health and Wellness Centers
Vaden Health Center
Vaden Health Center is Stanford’s campus health care clinic. Within the center, there are many branches including Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), an X-ray clinic, a physical therapy center, and an allergy, immunization, and injection clinic.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
CAPS provides individual and group psychological counseling. You are eligible for a free initial evaluation or short-term counseling. CAPS cannot provide long-term counseling. Confidentiality is strictly maintained.
Confidential Support Team (CST)
The CST offers emotional support, consultation and short-term individual counseling to Stanford students impacted by sexual assault and relationship violence. CST is staffed by a team of trained psychologists and social workers specializing in trauma-informed services for students. At CST students can receive information and guidance about their rights and reporting options. Confidentiality is strictly maintained. There is no charge for CST services.
Arts and Culture
With two (free) museums, a concert hall, and an amphitheater, there's no shortage of access to the arts on campus.
