Crisis Services

If you are experiencing an emergency or a crisis, call 988 or 911. The 988 service can provide support if you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, anxiety, or depression. The 911 service can dispatch police, fire, or emergency medical services to your location. The 988 and 911 services work together, so calling either service can get you the help you need in an emergency.

If you or a loved one are in DDA services and in need of crisis support that is not related to an immediate threat to life or health, the DDA can provide a variety of clinical and behavioral options to assist.​​ Contact your CCS, your Regional Office​, or visit the DDA Clinical/Behavioral information page to learn more.​​
