Campus Mental Health Emergencies

If you're facing life-threatening situations, traumatic crises, or serious mental health challenges, we offer Same-day Crisis Walk-in Services, Monday through Friday, 10am through close. Some examples of mental health emergencies may include: suicidal/homicidal thoughts or actions, a recent incident of sexual assault, or the death of a significant person in your life.
