Crisis Intervention

During Business Hours

If you are in an immediate and life-threatening mental health crisis, call Public Safety at 937-229-2121 if you are on campus, call 911 if you are off campus, or present to the nearest emergency room.

If you are in a non-life-threatening mental health crisis, call the Counseling Center at 937-229-3141 for crisis intervention from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. A therapist is assigned to provide crisis intervention during specific hours daily. We can generally return calls by the end of the business day. 

You may also contact any resources listed below under "Additional Resources."
