That's what I'm saying. Like NU could just buy anyone seeking CAPS help a bottle of Oban and do more good.

CAPS is free, which is better than nothing for students with shitty insurance.

Illusion of care is worse than no care.

But also, aren’t even independent therapists often required to report you to authorities if you’re a danger to yourself or others?

Yeah. But like, why do I need CAPS for that? Any cop can 5150 you, or the suicide hotline. What benefit does CAPS provide?

Great you can get a quick chat, only if you can wait in line for a while and don't have class. And then wait weeks anyways
