Find Mental Health Help Here!
If you're experiencing a life-altering emergency, calling 911 is a standard recommendation. However, if you're concerned about police involvement, here are alternative resources for support:
Before calling 911:
If you or someone is in immediate, life-threatening danger, and you call 911, be mindful that police may not provide mental health support and could pose risks to marginalized groups (e.g., BIPOC, trans, disabled, or neurodivergent people). Consider asking trusted people to stay with you and advocate on your behalf if the police are involved.
Non-police crisis services:
Here are warm-lines and resources that offer help without involving law enforcement:

Your safety matters:
If weapons are nearby, lock them away or ask someone to remove them.
Let trusted loved ones know how they can help. Be clear if you don’t want police or hospital intervention.
You matter so much and support is there—reach out anytime. ❤️
