The Personal Counseling Center is particularly sensitive to the needs of a student in crisis. We conduct on-campus comprehensive assessments of student crisis situations, and these typically include consultation with all relevant parties involved. The goal of this process is to discover the factors which precipitated the mental health crisis, determine the presence and immanence of any danger that might be involved, and ultimately develop a plan of action. Community resources are contacted if that is deemed appropriate. This comprehensive mental health crisis assessment and management model is engaged by our professional staff regardless of whether the crisis occurs during or after regular business hours.
