Crisis Stabilization: When and How to Seek Immediate Help

Crisis Stabilization: When and How to Seek Immediate Help

A mental health crisis can feel overwhelming, leading individuals to feel unsafe or out of control. Situations such as intense emotional distress, sudden behavioral changes, or severe anxiety can all indicate a crisis.

Signs Someone Needs Crisis Support
Knowing the warning signs of a mental health crisis can empower loved ones to seek help:

  • Sudden Mood Changes: Feelings of hopelessness, agitation, or extreme mood shifts.
  • Withdrawal: Avoiding social interaction, withdrawing from family and friends.
  • Destructive Behavior: Self-harm, substance use, or aggression.
