Relationships are often some of the most rewarding aspects of our lives, and maintaining healthy relationships can sometimes feel confusing and stressful.

Counseling and Psychological Services wants to help! The program is hosting its fifth annual "Relationships Are Sweet" outreach event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 9, in the Union Connections Lounge. This is an opportunity to explore your relationships with fun quizzes, our "Ask Lucy" question booth, insight from mental health clinicians and snacks! Engage with providers from CAPS, CAPS Embedded Team (a collaboration between CAPS and University Housing) and the Multicultural Center. Relationships of all types will be represented — friendships, romantic/sexual partners, roommates, parents and your relationship with yourself/self-love! 

Then, on Thursday, Feb. 10, in collaboration with campus and community partners, CAPS will host a panel discussion with sexuality experts, answering your questions about sex, sexuality, dating, love, self-love and relationships! This panel will take place via Zoom from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Visit tinyurl.com/capslove2022 to sign up and access the Zoom link for this event, and to submit your questions.
