On Campus Student Emergencies
If a student is in urgent need of counseling, we provide help as soon as
possible. On weekdays, students may call or stop by the Center and tell the
Administrative Assistant of the urgency of their needs. After hours and
weekends, students may go to:
- Their RA
- Student Health Center
- Public Safety
All of these agencies can either directly help the student or connect the
student with appropriate resources. If a student has a life threatening
emergency, they should be taken to the nearest Emergency Room, usually Bryn Mawr
Hospital. A student might experience an emergency when away from campus or while
visiting friends or family. To locate emergency mental health services
elsewhere, see the section below.
Emergency Services for Non-Students or for Students Away from Campus
Students sometimes seek help for non-Villanova visitors, for family members
or friends in other parts of the country. In the chart below, you will find
links to websites through which you can locate services elsewhere. A person in
crisis can go to the nearest hospital for emergency care or referral to an
appropriate setting.
