What is crisis support?
Crisis services respond to urgent mental health situations such as suicidal thoughts, severe distress, or a rapid change in behavior. In Texas that includes 988 by call or text, mobile crisis outreach teams that come to where you are, walk-in crisis clinics, and psychiatric triage at hospitals.
Who this level of care is for
Services at this level typically serve anyone in immediate distress, including children, teens, and the adults caring for them. If someone is in immediate physical danger, call 911. Otherwise 988 is available 24 hours a day and can connect you with the local service that fits the situation.
