Crisis Counselling

What constitutes a crisis?

A crisis may be signalled by any of the following:

  • Self-injurious behaviour
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Thoughts about harming another person
  • Recent traumatic event or sexual assault
  • Perceptual disturbances, hearing voices, increased suspiciousness

 

Crisis Appointments and Response to Traumatic Events

Mental Health Support Staff will make every effort to respond as quickly as possible when an individual student requires an emergency appointment. Mental Health Support offers crisis counselling services to students who experience any form of assault. This includes sexual assault, physical assault and emotional abuse.

If you are in crisis and wish to speak with someone immediately you have the option of calling one of the numbers below. These numbers will of course be particularly helpful when our office is closed.
