Crisis Intervention & Resources
If you are in crisis, or are concerned about a TAMU-CC student in crisis, please call us at 361.825.2703 or come to the Counseling Center in the Driftwood Building during walk-in hours Monday-Friday 9:00-11:00am and 1:00-4:00pm.
Although the clinic is only open during regular business hours, our main phone number also functions as an after-hours crisis line.
If you call outside of regular business hours (over the noon hour, after 5:00pm, weekends, or holidays), you will hear a recording instructing you to press “2” to be connected to the after-hours crisis counselor.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening or medical emergency, call 911 or University Police at (361) 825-4444 or go to your nearest emergency room.
