Get Emergency Support
An emergency is a life-threatening situation where immediate response from medics or law enforcement is needed. Examples may include someone actively trying to harm themselves or others, self-injury requiring medical attention, hearing voices or experiencing hallucinations, or apparent drug overdose.
- If you or someone you know is an imminent danger to themselves or someone else, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
