Crisis Information and Other Resources

If you’re reading this, please know that you are not alone. You deserve compassionate care and support.

I’m unable to provide immediate crisis support, but this page can help connect you with resources, especially those that prioritize self-determination and community-based/non-carceral responses to crisis. There are also resources for other concerns; use the buttons to jump.

I’d like to give credit to Inclusive Therapists, Project LETS, and Don’t Call the Police for guiding the development of this resource page. Please visit their pages for additional resource options.

If you or someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger, please call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

    • Is there a threat of imminent serious harm or danger? Is this an emergency that requires immediate response?

      • If yes, call 911 immediately.

    • Can I put up with this and be okay? Can this wait?

      • No, I need support.

    • Can I handle this situation on my own? Is this something I can try to talk out with the person?

      • No, I need back-up.

    • Is there a friend, family member, neighbor, or someone else I can call to help me out?

      • No, there isn’t. I need a professional.

    • Can we use mediation to talk through the problem? Could I contact an alternate response line or community resource?

      • No.

    • If I call the police, do I understand how involving the police could impact me and the other person?
