Urgent situations might include a student expressing thoughts verbally or in writing that raise your level of concern; or engaging in troublesome behavior, e.g. excessive rage, incoherent thoughts, and/or threats of harm to self or others.
In these kind of emergency situations, we suggest you:
- Provide a quiet and safe place for the student
- Contact another staff or faculty person to be involved
- Maintain a calm and supportive attitude
- Do not leave the individual alone
Then make arrangements for immediate assistance by contacting one or more of the following four resources:
