MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DR. JOHN DUNKLE
Greetings! My name is John Dunkle and I have the great honor of serving as the Executive Director of CAPS. This year, I completed my 11th year as the head of CAPS. Each year CAPS collects a great deal of data on the students who utilize our clinical services and on the individuals we reach through our outreach and programming. In addition, CAPS hosts a doctoral internship and a postdoctoral fellowship for graduate students completing their doctoral degrees in psychology and completing supervisory hours prior to licensure. The 2015-2016 academic year was another busy one for CAPS, and I am excited to share our annual report for the year. In the pages that follow, you will discover the important and great work the CAPS staff accomplished this year. Thank you for your interest.

Thinking broadly, what did you learn about yourself, your relationship with others, or your community that is directly related to your participation in counseling at CAPS?
“
My counselor helped me understand helpful and harmful patterns that emerge and how to leverage them or alter them to live a more mindful, fulfilling and stress free life.”
“Everyone is struggling with something and I’m not alone, it’s just that people don’t talk about their problems that much or show their vulnerability. It’s Ok to accept that I’m not perfect.” “How sleep affects mental health and the beginning of how to direct myself away from anxious situations in a healthy way.”
“I learned that no matter what I’ve been told in the past, I am not broken, which has enabled me to move on from past experiences and improve my relationships with people on campus and back home.”
STUDENT FEEDBACK OF GROUP THERAPY PROGRAM
“I can accept that my perspective on a situation is valid, as are differing perspectives. Also, just because a person has always acted in one way in the past, it doesn’t mean that they always will in the future.”
In addition to the general satisfaction survey that CAPS sends to students, we conduct a separate survey of students participating in our group therapy program. Lynn Gerstein, LCSW, and Dr. Monika Gutkowska coordinate 9 interpersonal open-ended process groups this year. Below are some direct quotes from students who returned the survey.
“I gained insight into my responses to the losses of loved ones and the necessity of recognizing and expressing those emotions.”
“This group made me more compassionate to myself and others. This group is a major factor in my academic success and general happiness at NU.”
“I have learned an entirely different way of relating to romantic relationships.”
“One of the best experiences of my life.”
“I have learned to ask questions about myself that I had never thought to ask. I have also learned that talking to someone is not a weakness of mine but actually helps me be healthier in life.” “I learned everybody had different ways of showing and receiving affection/love and how to recognize the fact that not everyone presents the same and receives the same.” “I learned how I tend to act in response to certain situations that I encounter and healthy ways to respond.”
“A weekly appointment to get in touch with my emotions in a social setting.” “Open and honest environment in which to share my emotions and life experiences.” “At Northwestern, a lot of the times people seem so put together and I feel out of place. But, group gave me the opportunity to recognize and face my struggles.” “It was such an enjoyable experience.” “I enjoyed that I was forced to challenge myself and to face discomfort.”
“I learned how to be more calm in times of stress and not to let that impact my friendships at Northwestern.” “I learned how to make time for myself and truly maintain my own mental health when dealing with others.”

ESSENTIAL NU ON MENTAL HEALTH CAPS hosted the third annual ENU on Mental Health during Wildcat Welcome 2015. All incoming undergraduates, including transfer students are required to attend the ENU. For the second consecutive year, we hosted acclaimed speaker, Ross Szabo. Ross is the CEO of the Human Power Project, a company that creates cutting edge mental health curriculum. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an award winning speaker, author, and trainer.
SEND SILENCE PACKING Send Silence PackingÂŽ is an award-winning public education exhibit of 1,100 backpacks, representing the number of college students who die by suicide every year. The backpacks have been donated in memory of loved ones who have died by suicide. This impactful traveling exhibit puts a face to those lives and brings into scope the severity of suicide among college students, promoting a dialogue around suicide and mental health. Passersby walking among the backpacks see the pictures and read the personal stories of those who have died, and learn about mental health, suicide prevention, and where to seek help. This program was unveiled on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in 2008, with a keynote speech by The Honorable Patrick Kennedy. Since then, more than 320,000 people in 98 cities throughout the country have experienced Send Silence Packing. The event took place on September 28, 2015 on the Deering Meadow.
