We offer urgent care consultations for students experiencing distress or psychological difficulties, and anyone who has concerns about a student. 

• Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., you can call CPS (609-258-3141) or come directly to the UHS Reception area to be seen in person the same day by a CPS counselor. 
• Counselors are also available 24/7 by phone and can be reached by calling the Cares Line (609-258-3141).  
• After hours you may also opt to come to the UHS Infirmary, where nursing staff will help you connect to a counselor by phone.

CPS does not offer urgent psychiatric services (i.e., regarding medications) after hours. If you have concerns about prescribed medication after hours, you may call the CPS Cares Line.  A CPS counselor will get back to you the next business day.

Consultations

During an urgent consultation, the counselor will talk with you to assess the situation, provide immediate support, and help plan next steps for you or the person you are concerned about.

Emergent Situations

If safety is of immediate concern either during or after business hours, call the Princeton University Department of Public Safety at 911 if you are on campus, and at 609-258-1000 if you are off campus.
