Is your concern appropriate for a crisis appointment? Examples of situations where students should come to CAPS for a same-day consultation may include:
- Suicidal thoughts -- considering hurting yourself in some way
- Ideas about harming someone else
- If you have been the victim of sexual assault, violence, crime or other traumatic experience
- If you have been unable to take care of yourself, such as not sleeping or eating for several days (not due to physical illness)
