Emergencies

In a life-threatening situation, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest Emergency Room.

At the Student Counseling Center, we understand that sometimes mental health emergencies arise and a student may wish to speak with a counselor immediately. At any time during normal business hours, a student in crisis may contact the SCC and request to meet with a counselor. The SCC staff will determine the appropriate steps to take in each presenting situation. If the SCC is closed, or if a student cannot make it to the SCC, we recommend that they call 9-1-1, go to the nearest Emergency Room, call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (9-8-8), or use the Crisis Text Line (text TALK to 741-741).
