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.
Examples of a Crisis:
- You are in danger of hurting yourself
- You are in danger of hurting someone else
- Recent traumatic experience such as being assaulted
What a Crisis Session Is:
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.
