Crisis & Emergency Support
In times of crisis, knowing where to turn for immediate help is crucial. This page connects you with emergency and crisis support services available 24/7 for those in urgent need.
If You, a Patient, or a Family Member Needs Help:
Here are key resources for crisis and emergency support:
National Crisis Helplines: These helplines provide immediate support for people in distress or facing emergencies. Trained professionals are available around the clock to offer guidance, emotional support, and help in managing crises, whether related to mental health, domestic violence, or other urgent needs.
Emergency Hotlines: Services dedicated to providing urgent assistance, such as police, fire, or ambulance services. These hotlines are critical for dealing with life-threatening situations or emergencies that require immediate intervention.
Mental Health Crisis Teams: Local crisis teams offer on-the-ground support for individuals experiencing severe mental health crises, such as suicidal thoughts, psychotic episodes, or extreme distress. They provide rapid assessment, intervention, and referrals for ongoing care.
Suicide Prevention Services: Specialist organizations focused on preventing suicide offer 24/7 support, including helplines and chat services. These services provide immediate help to those struggling with suicidal thoughts and offer ongoing counselling and intervention options.
Emergency Shelters & Safe Spaces: For those in need of immediate physical safety, such as individuals fleeing domestic violence or homelessness, emergency shelters provide temporary accommodation and essential support during times of crisis.
