Mental Health Crisis Resources

If you are in a mental health crisis or emergency, you are not alone. Please reach out to the crisis services listed below for support. I do not provide crisis services.

For community-based alternatives to police in your city, visit: Don't Call the Police
- Before calling 911: If you or someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger and decide to call 911, please be aware that police are not equipped to offer mental health support and may even pose danger to People of Color, Neurodivergent people and Disabled people. Please reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.
Ask trusted loved ones for support: In addition to calling crisis services, we warmly encourage you to let your trusted loved ones know that you are struggling. Ask them to stay with you and to make a plan together. You don't have to face this alone. If you do not want police or hospital intervention, please be sure to communicate this clearly.
Remove weapons: If there are weapons such as guns nearby, please lock them away or ask a trusted person to remove them immediately. This can help reduce the risk of harm to yourself or others.
