Psychological Services offers walk-in assistance to current students who are experiencing crisis situations during office hours. If you are struggling with a serious issue, please feel free to stop by our office during open hours so that we can support you!
We have a 24/7 crisis support line available by calling 559-494-3028, and selecting option #3. The crisis line is accessible 24/7, including after work hours, weekends, and holidays.
If the office is closed and you are:- Experiencing thoughts or urges to harm others or end someone else’s life
- Having suicidal thoughts
- Experiencing thoughts or urges to harm yourself or end your life
- Actively engaging in self-harm
Please immediately call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or call SCCCD campus police at (559) 442-8201. You can also contact:
- the National Crisis Line at (800) 273-8255
- the Central Valley Crisis Line at (888) 506-5991
- or text HOME to the Crisis Text Line at 741741.
If a friend is struggling and you're not sure what to do, check out the Do's And Don'ts of Crisis For Students.
If you are a faculty member or administrator with non-emergency concerns about a student and you would like to consult with a member of Psychological Services, please call our mainline at (559) 443 - 8687 and leave a message. Alternatively, you can email the department at PsychServices@SCCCD.edu. A clinician will return the message within 2 – 3 business days.
At this time, staff who have a student in serious crisis (disclosing harm to self or harm to others) should immediately call their Campus Police department or local police to evaluate the student rather than referring to Psychological Services in order to ensure the safety of the student.
If you are unsure, please review the Crisis Do’s & Don’ts for Staff.
Please note that SCCCD Psychological Services clinicians can NOT contact students who have not completed a Request for Services Form. If you would like to refer a student to Psychological Services, please have them complete this form: Request for Services.
