Emergency Services

If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to a local hospital.

Weekday Resources

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, services at the Counseling Center are available. Students presenting in emergency circumstances during office hours (M-F 8am-5pm) will be seen by Center staff to provide a timely response.

The Counseling Center also has daily Walk-In hours from 12-2:00pm for students feeling overwhelmed by acute personal problems who are unable to wait for a regular appointment. During this time, students are seen on a walk-in basis and the amount of time available for each student depends on level of need and the number of students who come for Walk-In that day.

Evening and Weekend Resources

For medical or mental health emergencies occurring in the evening or on the weekend, emergency services are available through UMD's Department of Public Safety at (508)-999-9191 or 911.
