Use the following resources for support.

Mental Health Emergency

A mental health emergency is defined as an immediate situation that could result in severe injury or death if not addressed immediately. 

If you or one of your classmates/colleagues is experiencing a mental health emergency, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. If you are on campus, you may contact Public Safety at 402-559-5555. 

Mental Health Crisis

A mental health crisis is a situation where someone is needing urgent services that if left unattended could result in a mental health emergency. When in doubt, give us a call. 

If you or one of your classmates/colleagues is experiencing a mental health crisis during our office hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, call the CAPS office at 402-559-7276 or walk-in at the Student Life Center, suite 2031
