Mental Health Emergencies
If you or someone you care about is having a mental health emergency and may be at risk of self-harm or of harming others, call 911 immediately.What are Emergency Mental Health Services?
Without psychiatric assessment and intervention, a mental health emergency can result in suicide, homicide, domestic violence, child abuse, or other life-threatening situations.
Our Emergency Mental Health Services provide crisis interventions through our Crisis Call Line, Mobile Crisis Team, and the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency program.
