Urgent Mental Health Care
University Health Services provides non-emergency, same day assistance for urgent emotional support needs. For life-threatening concerns or when the university is closed, see Emergency Resources.
Some reasons to seek crisis intervention may include:
- Suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm that do not include immediate risk to safety (if concerned about current safety, call 911)
- Having recently experienced a physical or sexual assault
- Hearing voices or seeing things
- Having recently experienced or witnessed a threat to life or safety
- Having recently experienced the death of a loved one or a significant loss
- Being unable to provide for your own food, clothing, and/or shelter
- Having experienced or witnessed violence, hate-based incidents, or natural disasters that impact you and/or people you care about.
- Having strong emotional reactions to discrimination.
If you believe you are in need of immediate emotional support, please come to the Student Counseling & Mental Health Care Center anytime between 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, when the university is open. Download the TELUS Health Student Support app for access to professional counseling 24 hours per day by phone or chat in multiple languages.
