CMHS offers round-the-clock crisis intervention counseling in the case of potentially dangerous or life-threatening mental health emergencies.

• During Regular Office Hours: From 9am - 5pm, emergency services can be contacted through the CMHS front office at 617-627-3360.
• For After-Hours Emergencies: The counselor-on-call can be reached through the Tufts University Police by calling x73030 from a campus phone or 617-627-3030 from off campus or a cell phone. Give the dispatcher your name and the phone number at which you can be reached, and the counselor-on-call will get back to you as soon as possible.
• What is a Mental Health Emergency? If you, or someone else, are having thoughts of suicide, impulses to hurt yourself or someone else, severe mental confusion or disorientation, or if you have just been a victim of violence or assault, contact emergency services immediately.
• What if it's not an emergency but I'm really upset? At times of distress that do not reach the level of a crisis or emergency, there are several things you can do to help you cope with and reduce your distress. Here are a few suggestions:
• Write in a journal
• Talk to a friend, family member, or trusted clergy member
• Practice relaxation techniques
• Listen to soothing music
• Exercise, preferably out of doors if weather permits
• Meditate
• Take a "mindful" walk
• Watch a movie
