The Counseling Center provides 24-hour crisis-intervention services throughout the regular academic year for students experiencing mental health crises (e.g. psychological trauma, thoughts of harming self or others). If you or someone you are assisting is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

What is a crisis?

• Have you experienced a personal, psyhological, or physical trauma recently?
• Has your level of distress increased significantly?
• Has someone asked you to come to the Counseling Center or another mental health resource?
• Are you having thoughts or a plan to hurt yourself or others?

        If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please seek assistance.
