In an emergency you can go to the nearest Emergency Department. If your only option is to call 911*, specifically state it’s a mental health emergency and request an Ambulance or Fire Department. Please know, they may still send police.
*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 BIPOC, Transgender/ Gender Expansive, people experiencing mental health crisis, Neurodivergent folx, and Disabled people. Please ALSO reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.
