Crisis Services

The UCC provides crisis services to current, students, faculty, and staff. If you are in crisis, you can call during office hours (M - F 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM) and speak with the crisis counselor by phone or Zoom or you can walk to the UCC and meet with the crisis counselor in person. Please tell the receptionist that you are in crisis and need to speak with someone as soon as possible.

Crisis services are for student in need of an immediate consultation with a clinician. Call us now if you are experiencing harmful thoughts or any of the below.

What happens during a crisis session?

Crisis sessions are 20-minute check-ins to check if you are safe and address any immediate needs. If needed, the crisis counselor will give you instructions on how to get connected with regular/ongoing counseing or another type of care that best fits your ongoing needs.

Similar to other services, crisis care is confidential except in cases where there is immediate danger to yourself, someone else, or there is current child abuse.
