Crisis Appointments

Crisis appointments are available for students experiencing an urgent need for timely mental health support. Crises are self-identified by the student (If you say you are in crisis, we believe you.) Topics may include family or relationship crisis, experience of violence, discrimination, suicidality, self-harm, etc. A counselor will work with you to ensure personal safety and develop an actionable safety plan with referrals to other urgent support as needed.

If you urgently need to speak with a counselor, UP students may call the Pilot Helpline 24/7 from anywhere: 503.943.7134, and choose option 3.
