The Counseling Center provides 24-hour crisis-intervention services throughout the regular academic year for students experiencing mental health crises (e.g. psychological trauma, thoughts of harming self or others). If you or someone you are assisting is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, and you are off campus, call 911 immediately; if you are on campus, call Campus Police at 8888, so they can call 911 and direct emergency vehicles to the correct location.

What is a crisis?

The student must call the RD on duty at 919-612-6350, or call Campus Police at 919-760-8888 in order to reach the Counselor on Call. The RD or security officer will call the counselor on call, who will then call back the student at risk.
