Communicating with your mental health clinician
You can communicate directly with your mental health clinician through Health e-Messenger by responding to a secure message from your provider. However, do not use Health e-Messenger for urgent or emergency situations, as the recipient may not see your message immediately. In such cases, call the CAPS main office or dial 911.
Please avoid using email to communicate with your provider, as it is not secure and may not be timely, especially in emergencies. CAPS uses email only for automated appointment reminders. If you email a staff member, they will direct you to communicate via phone or Health e-Messenger.
