Crisis Services

Call 911 or go to the nearest ER for a psychiatric emergency. But if looking for immediate help for non-emergent issues, consider these three resources:

suicide hotline

Call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 to talk with a live counselor 24/7 or check out their website

text line

If more comfortable with texting, Crisis Text Line offers 24 hour confidential and free help, simply text HOME to 741-741 to immediately connect with a counselor.

in-person help

NC offers a free crisis management service. Call 877-626-1772.
