If you or someone you know are experiencing a crisis…
During business hours: if you find yourself in a non-life-threatening crisis, you may reach out to the Counseling Center for crisis intervention during our business hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30AM to 4:30PM. We are generally able to return calls or respond to emails by the end of the business day. We take same-day appointments, although we encourage you to call or email ahead of time if possible to ensure that someone is available to meet with you when you arrive.
After business hours: if you or someone else is experiencing an immediate life-threatening emergency, please do one or more of the following. Contact:
- Campus Security at (808) 735-4792
- 911 for immediate assistance
- the nearest emergency department.
- 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
- In Hawaii, 988 connects to Hawaii CARES, which can also be reached at (808) 832-3100 or toll free at 1-800-753-6879. Anyone can call the Access Line 24-hours a day and request for Crisis Mobile Outreach (CMO) workers to be sent to any location. On Oahu they promise a response time of 90 minutes or less. The person has to want help. The CMO worker will help address the immediate crisis needs and get the person hooked up with any state services they qualify for. A new person receives a crisis worker for 30 days who helps the person get set up with other services if needed.
