Crisis Consultation and Resources
Do you need to speak to someone immediately? Contact our 24/7 UMN Phone Counseling and Crisis Line by calling 218.281.TALK (8255) or text "UMN" to 61222.
For immediate danger, please CALL 911. Dangerous crisis situations include suicidal behaviors or threats, homicidal behavior or threats, irrational dangerous behavior, or excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs. If you are not sure whether the situation represents immediate danger, err on the side of caution and place the call.
For Family, Friends, Faculty, or Staff
If you are concerned for someone's safety, your options include:
- Contact a crisis line together if the person of concern is willing.
- Contact a crisis line yourself to talk through your situation and understand your options.
- Call 911 if the danger is imminent or you are unsure.
You may also consider submitting a report to the Care Team to ensure that the University is aware of the student's situation and following up with them.
