In the event of an emergent situation (including those in which a person is feeling out of control, unable to care for him/herself, or having serious thoughts of harming self or others), call Campus Police if on campus (404-894-2500), call 911 if off campus, or go to your nearest emergency room. If you have urgent concerns, but are not sure whether you need to go to an emergency room, call the Georgia Tech Counseling Center’s 24-Hour Crisis Consultation line at 404-894-2575. The therapist on call will be able to assist you and if necessary, can refer you to an appropriate emergency room. For example, Grady Memorial Hospital provides psychiatric care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in its Psychiatric Emergency Room (404-616-4762) located at 80 Jesse Hill Jr. Drive in Atlanta. The Ridgeview Institute also provides emergency evaluations, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You can make an appointment for an evaluation at Ridgeview by calling: 770-434-4567.
