Here in the Counseling Center we are also prepared to handle crisis situations. No one likes to think about awful situations—such as someone having suicidal thoughts, rape, a drug overdose or any other traumatic event occurring—but the fact of the matter is that these situations can occur, and we need to be prepared.
Contact the Counseling Center, MCAT or Campus Safety immediately (see Emergency Services) if you become worried about yourself or someone else heading into crisis, dealing with a crisis, or having trouble recovering following a crisis. We will be there to help by first ensuring everyone’s safety and then helping the person in crisis obtain the services and resources needed to overcome the situation and hopefully keep the crisis from reoccurring.
