Step by Step

In a Mental Health Emergency

A mental health emergency is any situation where someone's safety is at immediate risk. Here's a clear, step-by-step guide.

01

Call 911 or go to your nearest ER

If someone is in immediate danger of harming themselves or others — or has already done so — call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room. Tell them it's a mental health emergency.

02

Call or text 988

The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7. Trained counselors are ready to talk. You don't have to be suicidal to call — any mental health crisis qualifies.

03

Text HOME to 741741

The Crisis Text Line connects you with a trained crisis counselor over text — free and confidential, 24/7. Useful when you're in a situation where you can't speak out loud.

04

Reach out to someone you trust

A friend, family member, or neighbor can sit with you, help you stay safe, or drive you to get help. You don't have to be alone in a crisis — asking for support is a sign of strength.
