Welcome to the Web site of WELLWVU’s Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services (CCPP). Whether you are an undergraduate, graduate, or professional student, full-time or part-time, we want to help you complete your education.

Your time at WVU may be filled with transitions, self-exploration and change. Our services and programs are designed to support you through these experiences, help you succeed in college, and guide you toward a more fulfilling life. We strive to provide these services in an atmosphere that is welcoming, comfortable, and multiculturally sensitive for all students, faculty and staff.
