What To Do in a Crisis

Recognizing a crisis is the first step to getting help. Warning signs include intense sadness, hopelessness, sudden changes in behavior, talk of self-harm, or withdrawal from loved ones. Trust your instincts—if something feels urgent, it’s important to take action.

If you or someone you care about is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For mental health and addiction crises, professional help can make all the difference. You are not alone—there are people ready to support you every step of the way.

If the situation is not life-threatening but you’re still concerned, reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare provider. Listen without judgment and offer reassurance. Encourage your loved one to seek help or contact a local support service for guidance.
