Macalester College Health & Wellness Center offers emergency counseling services for students during office hours whenever school is in session. After hours, if you are having thoughts of harming yourself or are feeling dangerously out of control, you have several resources available to you. If residing on campus, we recommend you first contact your RA/CA or RHD who can help you determine the best option and facilitate your decision. The Crisis Connection (612.379.6363) is a 24-hour crisis line when simply talking with a trained counselor can help. Finally, consider going to the nearest emergency room or calling 911. The closest emergency room to campus is at Regions Hospital (651.254.1000), located at 640 Jackson Street in downtown St. Paul.
Here are some other steps students can take to help manage times of distress:
* Identify the specific source or distress and write down and review positive strategies for responding to it.
* Talk with a trusted family member, mentor, or friend.
* Engage in activities that help you feel better (e.g. listening to relaxing music, exercise, go for a walk, journal, or do a relaxation exercise).
