If it is not a life threatening emergency, but a mental health or substance abuse crisis requiring immediate professional intervention, call the Crisis Hotline at 1.877.422.5939.
This hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Trained behavioral health professionals are standing by to assist you.

If appropriate, a Mobile Crisis Outreach Team will be sent to assess the crisis and provide assistance.
