The Counseling Center holds space daily for urgent support to assist students experiencing an immediate crisis. If a student is facing a crisis and needs to speak with someone quickly, they can call or stop in and ask about a "triage appointment". Our staff will assess the situation to determine the most appropriate and timely path for care. This may include a same-day appointment at the Counseling Center, a referral to another campus resource, or a connection to off-campus support.
If an urgent situation without an immediate safety risk arises you can contact the 麻豆视频 Counseling Center at (507) 933-7027--weekdays from 8 am - 4:30 pm.
