CRISIS SUPPORT
Embedded Files
An important part of helping someone in crisis is the ability to recognize the risk factors and warning signs for suicide. For more information, please see Risk Factors & Warning Signs.
If someone has disclosed that they are having thoughts of suicide, they should be connected to a resource as soon as possible in order to keep them safe. Brainstorm with the person about various supports available and where to access help.
In the case of emergency:
Call 911
Go to the Emergency Room of your local hospital
If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, contact the Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team (available 24/7):
Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team (MHMCT)
(902) 429-8167 or 1 (888) 429-8167 (Toll Free)
