Mental Health Support
A crisis is a time of intense emotional difficulty, trouble, or danger. We help those experiencing an emotional/mental health crisis by providing immediate and short-term assistance. Depending on the individual situation, this can include recommendations to seek immediate assistance in an emergency room or nearby behavioral health facility. In less critical situations, students can be provided referrals for support services. Examples include: suicidal ideation, mental health decline, substance abuse, domestic violence, grief support, etc.
If you have questions about where or how to refer students for well-being support, call Student Relations at 734-462-4486. The SC Aware reporting system can be found at schoolcraft.edu/scaware and is monitored 24/7 for after hours needs.
