If someone you know is in crisis
The best thing to do is to consult with Counseling Services (509.358.7740).
Professional consultation will help you determine how you can best help the person you are concerned about. Often, your referral will result in a consultation appointment with our professional counseling staff.
It is a policy of Counseling Services to respond as quickly as possible to crisis calls regarding students, faculty, and staff. Your call to the above number will be answered by a trained staff member who will then have counseling staff contact you to discuss your concerns.
