Crisis intervention is available as needed by professional counseling faculty.

A crisis can be defined as an event which places an individual in a situation that was not planned or expected. Sometimes, these unexpected events can hinder the individual's capacity to function personally or academically. Counselors can help by providing an objective frame of reference within which to consider the crisis, discuss possible alternatives, and promote healthy functioning.

Here are some examples of possible crisis situations using statements:

• "I'm only 18 years old, and here I am pregnant."
• "I feel as if no one cares, I have no one to talk to, and I just don't know what to do."
• "I couldn't deal with the drinking anymore."

These are only a few of possible events that can result in a crisis.

If you think you are in need of crisis intervention please stop by the Counseling & Advisement Center (S-330) as soon as possible.

Confidentiality Guidelines Will Be Followed.
