What is a Mental Health Crisis ?
A mental health crisis is any situation in which a person's behavior puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others and or prevents them from being able to care for themselves or function effectively in the community. When a mental health condition is present, the potential for a crisis is never far from mind. Crisis can occur even when treatment plans have been followed and mental health professionals are actively involved.
In the event that you are experiencing a crisis, our Crisis Hotline is available 24/7 to HBHS Members. One of our qualified professionals will be available to assist you. For all life threatening emergencies, please dial 911.
