Student organizations are often interested in bringing presentations that can help improve the mental health of their members. CAPS offers presentations on a variety of topics, including but not limited to stress management, QPR which is a suicide prevention training, self-esteem, social relationships, and any topic that could help in the personal growth of UTEP students. Click here to request a presentation and select the topic that best fits the needs of your organization. If you are interested in having a QPR training, which is a 2-hour suicide prevention program, please email Dr. Piñero Melendez at mpineromel@utep.edu to request a presentation. We look forward to hearing from you and helping your organization members improve their mental health.
