about Crisis services
What Defines a Crisis?
A crisis isn’t just any difficult situation—it’s an event or state that requires quick attention to address safety, stability, or time-sensitive decision-making. Examples of situations that qualify as crises include:
A sudden traumatic event, such as a violent incident or a death in the family.
Individuals experiencing severe depression or suicidal ideation.
Families dealing with urgent concerns, such as a loved one in need.
Safety-related emergencies where immediate action is required to prevent harm. Please call 9-1-1 for this type of emergency.
We differentiate between a crisis and general service needs. If your situation requires timely attention, our team will prioritize your safety and well-being. Note: If your situation requires emergency services, please call 9-1-1.
