Behavioral Health Emergencies are potentially life-threatening situations that need immediate attention to preserve life.

Examples of behavioral health emergencies include:

• Intending to kill self, or making threats or taking actions to kill self
• Intending to kill others, or making threats or taking actions to kill others
• A self-inflicted injury that needs immediate medical attention
• Severe impairment due to drug or alcohol ingestion
• Erratic or unusual behavior that indicates a potential danger to self or others, or an inability to care for self

If you are experiencing a behavioral health emergency, please call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room.
