Crisis/Distress

These resources are for educational purposes only. If this is a medical emergency, please seek immediate medical attention by calling 911. If you have non-emergent questions, ask your healthcare provider.

Sometimes using coping strategies is hard, and the uncomfortable feeling of emotional distress is not likely to improve without immediate intervention which could result in harm to self or others. If you think you or someone you know is experiencing crisis or distress, we encourage you to use the resources below:
