What if it is very late in the night and a student is experiencing a psychological or emotional crisis?
Twenty-four emergency crisis consultation and assessment is provided to the campus community by the Center’s staff through a well-coordinated protocol system with Housing & Residential Life staff and the Department of Public Safety. Housing & Residential Life staff can access the Center’s staff after hours for emergency consultations. When a parent is confronted with a late-night crisis involving critical concerns such as suicidal threats or behavior, a sexual assault or acute anxiety, parents can call the Department of Public Safety (508.999.9191) to initiate a wellness check or crisis intervention. At that time, a determination will be made regarding the need for an immediate evaluation at a local hospital or whether a next-day appointment at the Center for further assessment would be appropriate.
