When someone is in the midst of a mental health crisis they need something other than police or fire departments to arrive on the scene. That's why some cities offer mobile crisis teams and short-term stabilization as an alternative to jails and emergency departments. Learn how the emergency response to mental health crises is evolving and what it feels like to be in crisis.
This episode does discuss suicide attempts. If you need support right now, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. They are there to listen.
