Puget Sound is committed to supporting our students on and off campus who are having a hard time – including those who may be concerned for themselves or a peer about behaviors related to suicide and self-harm.

If there is an immediate threat to someone’s life:

  • On-Campus – Please call Security Services at 253.879.3311 immediately
  • Off-Campus – Please call 911 immediately 

If you are struggling yourself: Visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org/help-yourself or see the resources at the bottom of this page.

Students, Faculty, and Staff: If you are concerned that a student may be engaging in self-harm or considering suicide, please fill out the online report form. 

The form goes directly to one of the members of our Review Team during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 8 am - 5 pm). The Review Team will consider the situation and take what action is possible to provide support and intervention. If there is an immediate threat to someone's life:

  • On-Campus – Please call Security Services at 253.879.3311 immediately
  • Off-Campus – Please call 911 immediately 

In addition, please remember that there are national and local resources to get help for yourself or to discuss a friend you’re concerned about, including:

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Eric Hetland, Director of Student Support at 253.879.3365 or ehetland@pugetsound.edu.
