Emergency Services

At Dean College, our student's safety is always our number one concern.

A student may be in crisis if he or she is exhibiting any of the following:

• Suicidal behavior, attempts and/or explicit statements
• Extreme anxiety resulting in panic reactions
• Severe obsessive thinking
• Inability to communicate (garbled or slurred speech, disjointed thoughts)
• Confusion, disorientation, hallucinations or delusions
• Highly disruptive behavior (hostility, aggression, violence)

Also be aware of the potential for violence, particularly if you notice:

• Alcohol or drug intoxication
• Homicidal threats (written or verbal) or attempted assault
• Paranoia, agitation, hostility, aggression
• Recent acts of violence or property damage
• Destruction of property or other criminal acts

If you believe a student may be in imminent danger, a harm to self or others, call Campus Safety at 508-541-1888 or 911. Or, call Counseling Services at 508-541-1838 for help in assessing the situation.
