What To Do In A Crisis

1. Make sure your immediate surroundings are safe.

2. Use any skills or strategies you know to reduce the intensity of the feeling.

(Such as breathing, visualization, meditation, muscle relaxation, or exercise.) 

3. Contact anyone you know who can talk to you and get your mind off the problem.

4. Contact anyone you trust to help you.

5. Contact professionals for help.

(Such as our agency or 988)

When you or someone you know lives with a mental health condition, your body and mind can make you feel like you are in a crisis situation. In times of crisis, remember that you are not alone and there is help.

If you cannot mediate your crisis with learned coping skills, there are many resources you can reach out to.
