Abstract	Post-secondary institutions across North America have noticed a concerning trend in terms of increased student mental health crises on campuses. Consequently, many colleges and universities have been working to develop responsive and comprehensive mental health frameworks. While broad studies have illuminated the high rates of student mental health struggles, none have focused solely on documenting mental health related crises that occur on campus during a prolonged period of time. This type of information is vital if we are to create comprehensive mental health frameworks for our post-secondary institutions, because it will be these types of incidents that will most vigorously test the policies and processes that comprise the bases of these frameworks. Thus, the current study examined documented student mental health crises on a college campus over a three-year period. The data examined provide an overview of: the types of crises reported (e.g., suicide/homicide risk; psychotic-like behaviour; assault; self-harm); identified triggering events; and the types of internal and external campus supports activated.
