While most services we offer are scheduled, sometimes situations arise that need more immediate attention. A mental health crisis can include, but is not limited to:
- Thoughts of killing yourself
- Thoughts of killing or harming others
- Experiences of physical or sexual assault within the last 7 days
Crisis care is available 24/7 and can be accessed in the following ways:
- During normal office hours (Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30) students can stop by our office, located on the first floor of the Millennium Student Center (located next to The Nosh, in the same office with Health Services).
- For after hours emergencies, students can call our office at (314)516-5711 and select Option 2.
