Emergency Services

24-Hour Crisis Line | 844-258-8858

Mobile Crisis Response is also available through the crisis line 24/7. Mobile Crisis Response is a service that provides teams of professionals that can provide on-site, face-to-face mental health services for an individual or family experiencing a mental health crisis. They can respond wherever the crisis is occurring – in an individual’s home, the community, or other locations where an individual lives, works, attends school, or socializes.

A crisis is any stress or pressure that hat become too great for you to cope with alone.

“Crisis” can mean different things to different people. A crisis could be a major loss – the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a serious illness. Or it could be a series of smaller problems that have compounded and become overwhelming.

Because crisis can happen to anyone, the crisis phone line provides trained, compassionate counselors 24/7.

For emergency situations always call 911.
