Immediate Threat

If you believe that someone may pose an immediate threat to him/herself or others immediately call Campus Safety at ext. 27777 from a campus phone, dial (714) 992-7777 from a cell phone or use one of the Emergency Phones located on campus.

No Immediate Threat

You can assist him/her in accessing help by referring them to the Student Health Center psychologist at (714) 992-7093. If possible and appropriate, escort the student to the contacted office. See Health Center for hours of operation and Title IX & Students in Crisis for phone numbers that can be given to the student. Faculty and staff should also report to the area dean or manager.

Students Of Concern & Student Support Resource Team

The Fullerton College Student Support Resource Team (SSRT) responds to concerns about student well-being and safety. These concerns may be regarding suspicion of or actual self-harm, and/or possible threats of harm to others. If you are working with a student who may be at immediate risk for self-harm or may pose a safety threat to others, it is critical to immediately call Campus Safety at ext. 27777 from a campus phone, (714) 992-7777 from a cell phone or use one of the Emergency Phones located on campus. You may then submit a report to SSRT for additional follow up after appropriate emergency response has been arranged.

It is also helpful to refer students of concern to the Student Support Resource Team (SSRT) who may not yet be in a crisis situation, but may be at risk in the future without appropriate intervention and access to resources. With early reporting, assessment, and intervention, we can prevent crises and help support students to reach their goals.
