What is a mental health crisis? From NAMI, "A mental health crisis is any situation in which a person's behavior puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others and/or prevents them from being able to care for themselves or function effectively in the community." ⠀

Some days are difficult... more difficult than others. Some days we may feel angry, sad, or need to cry. Know these emotions and feelings are valid are are ok.⠀
...⠀
When a difficult day becomes unmanageable or doesn't seem to end, this may be a mental health crisis. If there is expressed suicidal ideation that includes a plan to complete suicide or expressed notion to harm others, this is definitely a mental health crisis and requires help. ⠀
...⠀
If you or someone you know are in a mental health crisis, call 911 if there is imminent danger or call the National Suicide Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK to be connected to a crisis counselor. You can also text "HELP" to 741741. 🤍⠀

We hope this helps you understand what...
