Get Immediate Support

Crisis intervention services provide immediate access and support to students in need due to acute mental health crises.

Some situations require immediate attention. If a student's behavior is highly disruptive, creates a risk for others' safety, appears very disorganized or out of control, or if the student expresses an intent of self-harm or suicide, seek immediate assistance by calling CAPS (513-556-0648) and asking for the therapist on-call for emergencies, or call Public Safety at 911.

Walk-Ins

When individuals call our office to make an initial consultation appointment and disclose concerns for safety of self or others, we may request you come into CAPS for a same-day appointment. 

After Hours

Students and members of the UC community concerned about students have access to care 24/7, 365 days in the year. Our after-hours crisis services provide care during evenings, weekends, and other times when we are closed. You may call our direct number at 513-556-0648 and press 1, to speak with a counselor 24/7.

Are you concerned about a student? 

If you want to discuss your concerns about a student with a staff member of CAPS, call our main line 513-556-0648 and request to speak to a counselor for consultation. We will listen to your concerns and provide specific guidance and advice tailored to the situation.

We may suggest such approaches as:

  • talking with the student and how to do so
  • providing the student with some academic counseling or options
  • creating an agreement about behavioral expectations
  • referring the student to CAPS or other departments at UC
  • contacting the Dean of Students Office to describe your concern.
