600.00 Psychological Crises

A psychological crisis exists when an individual is threatening harm to himself/herself or to others, or is out of touch with reality due to severe drug reactions or a psychotic break. A psychotic break may be manifested by hallucinations, uncontrollable behavior, or the person could be a mental patient walk-away.

If a psychological crisis occurs:

  1. Never try to handle a situation you feel is dangerous on your own.
  2. Notify the University Police of the situation, dial extension 2121. Clearly state that you need immediate assistance, give your name, your location and the area involved.
