CAPS staff is available to provide consultation and assistance in crisis situations involving MSU students.

In the event of a crisis during our office hours, M-F 8am - 5pm, call or come into the office and special accommodations will be made to allow the student to be seen as quickly as is possible. Examples of such a crisis or emergency include:

  • Someone who is imminently at risk of hurting themselves or someone else.
  • Someone who has experienced a recent trauma or loss (e.g. assault, death).
  • Someone who feels they cannot cope/control their thoughts/emotions.

When you call or come in, the receptionist may ask you some basic questions to assess the severity of your concern and to determine when someone is available to see you. Rest assured that you will be seen as soon as it is possible.

In the event of an emergency after hours, utilize the resource numbers below. If you live on campus, you can also utilize University Student Housing staff, or Campus Police at 911.

CAPS staff is also available to MSU faculty and staff to consult about crisis situations or any concerns they may have about a particular student. Visit our faculty guide to learn more.
