One of the services we offer is providing Letters of Support to help with things like academic accommodations, medical withdrawals, or connecting with outside providers. If you’ve been working with one of our therapists and need documentation related to your mental health, we may be able to help.
Here’s what you need to know:
- You must have an established a clinical relationship with a therapist at CAPS
- Letters are given at your clinician’s discretion, based on your treatment history and current needs
- We follow ADA guidelines for disability-related documentation
- Requests must be made at least 5 business days in advance
- A Release of Information (ROI) form must be completed before we can provide the letter
- If you are a former student, you can still access your records if you meet the requirements above.
Note on Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letters:
CAPS clinicians are not trained to assess animal behavior, so we cannot provide letters or documentation for ESAs. However, we may be able to provide documentation about your mental health symptoms and diagnosis if you're an established client and it's clinically appropriate.
If you think you need a Letter of Support, talk to your therapist or visit CAPS at HC-162. You can also call (909)537-5040 if you have any questions.
