24/7 CRISIS CONSULTATION

When mental health problems aren’t properly addressed, they can lead to substance misuse, self-harm or suicide. If you’re worried about yourself or a friend, trust that instinct and take action now.

The Counseling Center is available 24/7 if you’re in crisis. During business hours, call 404-413-1640 and let our support team know that you’d like to speak with someone urgently. You can also reach a crisis counselor after business hours by calling 404-413-1640. Call this line if you feel that you’re in crisis, are having suicidal feelings, or if you’re in danger of doing harm to yourself or others.

If you or someone you know needs medical attention or is in immediate danger of harm, call 3-3333 if on campus and 911 if off campus.

Georgia State is also a JED Campus and if you or someone you know is in crisis and needs to talk to a trained counselor right now and would rather text than speak with a counselor on the phone, text START to 741-741.

You call also call 1-800-273-TALK.

PANTHERS SUPPORT PANTHERS

We know that students often talk to other students, faculty or staff before they go to the Counseling Center. We need everyone to know the signs of suicidal crisis and how to help because suicide prevention is everyone’s business.

In-Person Facilitated Training

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a ninety-minute course that Georgia State offers both virtually and in-person. This course teaches the signs of mental health distress, how to ask someone if they are feeling suicidal, how to talk to them about getting help and how to assist the student with accessing that help through counseling services.

A new in-person training coming Fall 2024.

Online Self-Guided Training

Kognito At-Risk Mental Health is an online course that takes 30- 45 minutes to complete and can be done in multiple sittings, as your progress will be saved. It is designed to help our community learn to notice signs of distress, use techniques to discuss our concerns, and, if necessary, refer students to appropriate resources. In order to build solid skills, the training module gives faculty, staff, and students the opportunity to practice these challenging conversations at their own pace through role-play with virtual students.
