Crisis Services

Emergency Appointments

Although the Wellness Center operates on an appointment basis, a student may face an urgent concern or crisis that feels too overwhelming to wait for a scheduled appointment. Wellness Center professionals are available for same-day brief screenings (15-20 minutes) for assessment and intervention between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Victim Advocate

Services available to students of USFSP 24 hours, seven days a week.
