Students Don’t Just Struggle During Business Hours
Panic attacks at 2 a.m. Anxiety spirals after a tough exam week. Hopelessness that hits when no one’s around. Crises don’t wait until morning—and neither should care.
CrisisNow is TimelyCare’s dedicated 24/7 crisis line, providing:
Immediate access to Master’s-level clinicians, not volunteers or bots
24/7/365 support for UMW students, faculty, staff, and families
Continuity of care after the moment passes
No previous registration is required to call the crisis line, so access is quick and direct.
To access CrisisNow, call the main Talley Center Number at (540) 654-1053 and select option 1
