Crisis Counselor

Arapahoe Community College provides a list of referrals for crisis counseling, treatment, rehabilitation and re-entry programs through the community. A list of referrals is available in the Student Affairs office. Pastoral and professional counselors, at their discretion, are encouraged to inform those they counsel of the procedure for reporting crimes voluntarily and confidentially to the Campus Police Department or Student Affairs office, or any "campus security authority" for inclusion in the annual crime statistics.

Campus safety is everyone's responsibility - do your part!

• Be alert for campus crime, suspicious persons or incidents and safety hazards. Don't take unnecessary chances.

• Avoid getting into vulnerable no-exit places.
• If you feel someone is following you, go to a public place and ask for help.
