MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS

If you experience a mental health emergency – proceed to the closest emergency room. For non-emergent needs:

 

If SHCS is open:

 

  • SHCS encourages students with an urgent mental health concern to connect with us as soon as possible.
  • If you are not in the Bay Area, staff will advise you on how to access care.

 

If SHCS is closed

 

  • If you feel your situation is urgent (thoughts of harming yourself or others for example) go to the closest emergency room.
  • You can also get support anytime from the 24/7 Mental Health Consult Line. Call SHCS (415-476-1281) and choose option 7. You will be connected to a service staffed by non-SHCS counselors who can assist you.
