CRISIS RESOURCES
In crisis and needing support?
Since I am not available by phone 24/7, I am not considered a crisis counselor. Luckily, our community has many resources available if you are in crisis and needing immediate support. I know it can be intimidating to reach out but these resources are made for exactly this purpose and people are waiting to help. Here is a list of crisis resources by type of communication.
In an emergency, always call 911.
