CRISIS LINES
A mental health crisis line is a service designed to provide immediate support and assistance to
individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. These crises might include severe depression, anxiety,
thoughts of self-harm or suicide, psycho􀆟c episodes, or any situation where a person's mental health is
significantly impacting their ability to cope or function.
Crisis lines are typically staffed by trained professionals such as counselors, social workers, or
mental health professionals who are equipped to listen, offer support, provide guidance, and intervene
in emergencies.
They can offer a compassionate ear, suggest coping strategies, assess the level of risk,
and provide referrals to appropriate resources, including emergency services if needed.
