Crisis Support & Mental Health Resources

Provided by Helix Health Group

When Is It a Mental Health Crisis?

A mental health crisis may be occurring if someone is experiencing:

  • Suicidal or homicidal thoughts or behaviors, especially with an active plan or intent to harm themselves or others 

  • Acute pyschosis (e.g., hallucinations/delusions that interfere with reality)

  • Severe functional decline that is new (inability to eat, sleep, care for personal hygiene, or perform daily tasks)

The If any of these are present, this is a medical emergency. Immediate help is essential.  

What To Do in a Crisis?

Helix Health Group is not equipped to provide emergency or crisis intervention services.
If you are concerned someone is in imminent danger, take the following steps immediately:

  • Call 911 for emergency assistance 

  • Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

  • Go to your nearest Emergency Room or Crisis Center

What If It’s Urgent, But Not an Emergency?

If the situation is serious but not immediately life-threatening, help is still available. You might be in this category if someone is:

  • Struggling with severe anxiety, depression, or new life stressor  

  • In urgent need of medication or therapy but unable to get an appointment soon

  • At risk of deteriorating rapidly without support

Suggested options include:

  • Visiting a local crisis evaluation or walk-in mental health center

  • Calling 988 for real-time support or referrals

  • Exploring PHP (Partial Hospitalization) or IOP (Intensive Outpatient) programs for structured, short-term care
