Crisis Counseling 

 

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call CAPS (657-278-3040, available 24/7) and ask to speak with the on-call therapist. (Examples of a crisis situation include thoughts of suicide or homicide, self-harm, hallucinations, recent traumatic events, or feeling completely unable to manage your current situation.)

 

CAPS understands that sometimes mental health or life concerns can rise above the level of distressing and reach the threshold of a mental health crisis. If this happens to you, we want you to know that we are available to help.

CAPS crisis services are available to all currently-enrolled students, for both phone calls and walk-in crisis services between the hours of 8AM-4:30PM, Monday-Friday. After business hours, our crisis line continues to be available to current students every day, 24/7, including weekends and holidays. 

To reach us during a crisis, call (657) 278-3040 and ask to speak with the on-call clinician. To be seen in person, visit us at Titan Hall (click for directions).

Examples of a mental health crisis situation include but are not limited to: thoughts of suicide or homicide, self-harm, hallucinations, recent traumatic events, or feeling completely unable to manage your current situation.

In the event of an extreme mental health emergency or life-threatening situation, it is recommended that the student call 911, University Police (657-278-2515), or go to the nearest emergency room.
