Crisis Intervention
If you are a UCSB student, or have a friend in crisis, Counseling Services staff are available during regular office hours to see

to feel greatly overwhelmed and unable to cope with some problem, is
experiencing increased stress, is unable to think or act clearly or appropriately,
yet feels pressure to make a decision, take some action, or make some
kind of immediate change.
