Crisis Resolution
The term “crisis” can mean different things to people – in general, a crisis is a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger. It’s often a time when our traditional problem-solving approaches fail to bring us back to equilibrium, and we can encounter feelings of hopelessness, sadness, frustration, confusion, and even panic. Please note that the examples below are only some possible crisis scenarios. Counseling Services staff is available for phone or walk-in crisis consultations even when our offices are closed.
- You are currently having thoughts of harming yourself
- You are currently having thoughts of harming someone else
- You recently made an attempt to injure yourself or someone else
- You feel unable to take care of yourself or are experiencing hallucinations
- You do not feel safe and are experiencing spells of crying/breathlessness etc
- You have an urgent concern that you feel cannot wait until the following day.
- You are worried about a fellow student, family member, friend, or someone else important in your life and would like to consult with a counseling professional.
