Statement from Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services (MCAPS)

 We at MCAPS were deeply saddened to learn of the recent loss of a member of The Claremont Colleges community. We wish to extend our support to each one of you during this time. You may be experiencing shock, grief, numbness, sorrow, anger, fear, or other intense emotions. Give yourself extra time to process your reactions, as needed. 

We do want to take this chance to remind our community that suicide, when it does occur, is very complicated. No one single thing causes it. But in many cases, a mental health condition is part of it, and these conditions are treatable. It’s really important if you’re not feeling well in any way, or if you are concerned about someone else, to reach out for help.

Whether you seek our services or not, we at MCAPS encourage you to find trusted people with whom to identify and process your reactions. At MCAPS, we strive to provide a climate of safe and affirming support for all students.
