Help for Students in Need

Students in Crisis

  • A “crisis” is defined as a situation in which a student is a potential danger to themselves or others.
  • If you are in crisis:
    1. Call HACC's Public Safety and Security Central Dispatch phone line at 717-780-2568.
    2. Use the Hawk Response app.
    3. Send someone to get security.
  • The safety of a person in crisis takes precedence, and our security personnel are trained in handling emergency situations.
  • If the student is not in immediate danger, consider more discreet ways to get that person the appropriate help.
