Crisis and Emergency

For Any Life-Threatening Crisis
An emergency or a crisis might involve:

• Thoughts and plans to hurt yourself or someone else
• Engaging in a behavior that is life threatening
• If you have been assaulted, physically or sexually

What to do in an emergency

Depending upon the nature, location, and timing of an emergency, your options are:

On campus, call the UNCSA Campus Police
The Police will assess the situation, contact the counselor-on-call, and, if necessary, have the person transported to a hospital for care and treatment.

• Dial 55 from any campus phone or (336) 770-3362

Off campus, dial 911
Dial 911 off campus to summon local police who will assess the situation and, if necessary, arrange for transportation of the person to a hospital for care and treatment.
