AFTER-HOURS SUPPORT & RESOURCES
The Truman College Wellness Center values its students’ mental health & well-being. In the event of an unexpected closure during regular business hours or times outside of our regular operational hours, please see the available community-based resources below if you feel unsafe or are experiencing a mental health emergency.
Thresholds Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) – 24D/7D/365D

*Please note, you must live in the 60613, 60640 or 60657 zip codes or be on Truman’s campus for the outreach team to travel to you
How It Works
- Threshold specialists respond to the mental health crisis, acting as an alternative to hospitalization or police response
- Upon receiving a call from a person experiencing a mental health crisis, Thresholds specialists will work with callers to assess their situation via telephone and determine the appropriate response
- This may include dispatching a Crisis Team to caller’s location to assist
- Crisis Teams are made up of two Thresholds staff, one of whom is a peer support specialist with lived experience of a mental health condition
Thresholds Living Room Program – 24H/7D
Click here if you are a student seeking mental health support
How It Works
- Peer-led crisis respite center, an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization
- The Living Room at Thresholds is a comfortable, safe, and quiet place for those experiencing a mental health crisis
- Staff at the Living Room help guests through a screening and assessment process in a natural, comfortable setting
- Trauma-informed supports and interventions are available to help meet the needs of each individual
This model has been successful in preventing unnecessary hospitalizations that can be distressing & exacerbate mental health symptoms
