If you need immediate assistance, call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255. You can also call your college’s counseling center or campus safety.

If you are not in a crisis and need to see a professional, one of the easiest ways for you to do that is at your college’s counseling center. Most campuses offer up to 10 FREE visits. That opportunity makes seeking help in college one of the most affordable times in your life.

The counseling center can also help refer you to a professional off campus if you don’t want to receive help from someone on campus. You can typically find the counseling center by going on your college’s website or asking a professor.
