If you, or someone you know, is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available. You are not alone.

If you are on-campus

During normal working hours (8 am-4:30 pm, Monday through Friday during the summer months), call the SDCC (508-831-5540). Our services are available whether you live on- or off-campus.

If you are off-campus

Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

After-hours line

Calling ProtoCall (508-831-5540) is a great first step, as the crisis counselor you connect with can help you determine if you need a higher level of intervention or not. Call Campus Police or 911 if you are concerned about yourself or the immediate safety of someone else. 

24/7 Volunteer-Run Hotlines
