Crisis

PSYCHIATRIC CRISES/EMERGENCIES

If you are thinking about suicide, read this first: www.metanoia.org/suicide

Call 911 – IMPORTANT! Ask the police dispatcher to send trained officers to respond to mental illness crises (Crisis Intervention Team)

GO! –   to the nearest hospital emergency room

1-800.273.TALK (8255) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (suicide & crisis and hotline)

Crisis Text Line: text “CTL” to 741741

1.866.488.7386 Trevor Project (crisis intervention & suicide prevention for the LGBTQ community)

211 Infoline, a statewide United Way resource available 24/7 or visit the new website here

In Connecticut, you can call 211 to reach Mobile Crisis services. Just dial 1 to speak directly to a Child Guidance crisis counselor; if you’re over 18, ask them for the number of the nearest adult mobile crisis team. Mobile Crisis is a FREE, confidential service to help people having an emotional or behavioral crisis. You can talk with a therapist, or they can send someone to meet you wherever you are. They can even take you to the hospital if that would be best.
