If you think that you may harm yourself or someone else go to the Emergency Room of any hospital, call 911 or contact contact Public Safety at (478) 445-4400. If you live in a campus residential facility, you may call your RA/CA or RD. They will contact the on-call Counselor who will conduct a safety assessment.

Limits of Confidentiality: Under normal circumstances, information disclosed in counseling is strictly confidential. However in emergencies, it is sometimes necessary to disclose information for the protection of those involved. While we try to honor the student's wishes whenever we can, we will disclose information regardless of the student's preference if we believe that doing so is necessary to prevent harm.
