Hotlines

We recognize that the 911 emergency response system, hospital emergency rooms, and other traditional responses to extreme states can be helpful, although they may not be the right option for everyone. If you feel these resources can be of use to you, please see the list below.

  • Mobile Crisis Teams. These city-run teams include mental health professionals and provide assessment, intervention, and counseling within 48 hours of your request, as well as referrals. You can call 888-692-9355 to request a team.

  • Crisis Respite Centers. These centers provide an alternative to hospitalization. You may stay up to one week, and may continue with your daily activities while staying there. Centers provide activities and psychoeducation classes, referrals, and 24-hr peer support.

  • The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This national hotline is available 24/7 and is staffed by trained volunteers who can direct you to local mental health resources if needed. Text chat is also available.

  • The National Domestic Violence Hotline. This national hotline is available 24/7 to anyone experiencing domestic violence, either as a victim, abuser, or concerned outsider. Text chat is also available. Trained volunteers can help with crises, safety planning, and referrals.
