Am I In a Crisis?

A crisis can vary by individual. When in doubt, ask for help.

A crisis might involve:

  • Suicidal thoughts, intent, plan, and/or other risks of harm to yourself.
  • Homicidal thoughts, intent, plan, and/or other risks of harm to others.
  • Recent traumatic experience (e.g., natural disaster, sexual or physical assault)
  • Recent death of someone close to you.
  • Seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear.
  • Feeling unsafe, a sense of impending doom, or that someone/something wants to hurt you.
  • Currently living without basic needs being met (i.e., without access to food, shelter, clothing).
  • Unable to perform daily tasks, such as not being able to eat or sleep for several days.
  • Experiencing uncontrollable panic and unable to calm down.

What to Expect When Speaking With the On-Call Provider:

  • Questions to better understand your situation and to assess your safety.
  • Support in regulating your emotions and utilizing coping strategies.
  • Help in making a plan to address your concerns.
  • Connections to other appropriate services within the Counseling Center and/or referrals to on- and off-campus resources as needed.
