Crisis and Emergency Services

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.

 For immediate support outside of UMSL Counseling Services:

  • UMSL Campus Police: (314)516-5155
  • If you're experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room.
