Campus support guides

Every campus has people whose actual job is helping a student who is struggling. They are published across a half dozen departments, written for students rather than parents, and the after-hours crisis line, where there is one, is usually the hardest thing on the site to find. These pages put the ones a parent needs in one place, with the school's own page linked beside each so you can confirm anything.

If this is an emergency right now

Open your student's campus below and call the police number on that page. If you are hours away, that is the number rather than 911: dialing 911 reaches the dispatch center where you are, not the one covering your student's campus. Campus police already have jurisdiction there. Use 911 if you are local, or if you are with your student.

For support rather than a response, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is for you as much as for your student. Text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line.
