Crisis Resources.

If you or a loved one is in immediate danger of harming themselves or others, it may be necessary to call 911 or head to your nearest emergency room. Emergency services are not always safe options for the Black community so here are a few tips to minimize unnecessary harm:
  • Inform the 911 operator that this is a psychiatric emergency.
  • Ask for police officers and first responders trained in crisis intervention or trained to support people and families experiencing a psychiatric emergency.

It’s not only just about wanting to end your life. Crises are moments of intense emotional and mental pain that you may need support with.

Below you’ll find crisis lines and warm lines that you can text, call and message online to seek support from a trained crisis responder who’s focused on helping you get through this tough time.

Warm Lines.

Warm lines are created to support people on a temporary or short term basis (not therapy) who just need someone to talk to and listen to what they’re going through. Warm lines are not emergency services or crisis lines, and can be useful when you need someone to talk to but don’t have an available community to lean on.
