Counseling Emergencies


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).

Emergencies

Call 911 immediately if you or someone you are assisting is experiencing a life-threatening emergency. If you are on-campus, call Campus Police at 8888 immediately thereafter to report any emergency situations. Campus Police will give callers instructions and will call 911 to direct emergency vehicles to the correct location.

What is a mental health emergency?

If you answer yes to any of the questions below, you may be experiencing a mental health crisis. Please seek assistance.

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