Community Resources
In case of an immediate emergency, please use the following resources or go to your nearest hospital:
For mental health, substance use, or suicidal crises, you can call the Mental Health Access Line at 800.854.7771.
This service can connect you with a Psychiatric Mobile Response Team made up of DMH clinicians; law enforcement will only be involved if requested by the clinicians based on a risk assessment.
Alternatively, you can call or text 988 (or chat online via the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s website).
*Please note: 988 responders may dispatch emergency services to your location if they believe there is an imminent risk of harm, even if consent is not given.
For more local resources that avoid law enforcement involvement, please visit Don’t Call the Police or refer to our list of Confidential Hotlines below.
