Crisis Intervention           

A psychological crisis is a life event that a student perceives as stressful and during which normal coping mechanisms are insufficient.  Most crisis situations that arise require immediate or same day attention.  You do not need a pre-scheduled appointment to see a counselor if you have an urgent, emergency situation.  Such crisis situations may include, but are not limited to:

  • Extreme sadness or depression
  • Extreme panic or anxiety
  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  • Thoughts of harming someone else
  • Death of a loved one, family member or friend
  • Experience of a traumatic event
  • Experience of odd, bizarre or intrusive thoughts

Crisis Intervention Help for Students

The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) at Saddleback College is composed of professional counselors from the Student Health Center and the Office of Counseling and Special Programs.  The CIT counselors are available to assist when a Saddleback College student or staff member experiences an on-campus emergency and is in need of immediate help.

  • If you have a crisis situation, call the CIT at (949) 582-4606 or (949) 582-4572.
  • If you are on campus and need assistance after CIT hours or on weekends, call the Campus Police at (949) 582-4444.
  • When not on campus, call 911 or have a trusted person take you to a local emergency room.
