Urgent Mental Health Care
University Health Services provides non-emergency, same-day crisis intervention for urgent emotional needs. For life-threatening concerns or when the university is closed, see Emergency Resources.
Some reasons to seek crisis intervention may include recently experiencing:
- Suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm that do not include imminent risk to safety (if concerned about current safety, call 911)
- A physical or sexual assault
- Hearing voices or seeing things
- A threat to life or safety
- The death of a loved one or a significant loss
- Inability to provide for your own food, clothing, and/or shelter
- Violence, hate-based incidents and/or discrimination
- Natural disasters that impact you and/or people you care about.
If you believe you are in need of immediate emotional support, crisis intervention services are available at the Student Counseling & Mental Health Care Center between 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, when the university is open. Additionally, students are recommended to download the TELUS Health Student Support app for access to professional counseling 24/7 by phone or chat in multiple languages.
