Behavioral Health Emergency
A behavioral health emergency is when a patient is at immediate risk of serious harm to self or others, and needs immediate skilled observation.
We want you to be ready in advance of an emergency so you can get the services you need when you need them most. Our behavioral health providers can help you develop an emergency plan that includes who to call and where to go to ensure your health care needs are met swiftly.
Contact your behavioral health provider today about developing an emergency plan that is right for you.
