Need Immediate Help In An Emergency?

It is important to notify the operator if someone is having a psychiatric emergency and ask for officers or staff who are trained in crisis intervention or able to assist people experiencing a psychiatric emergency. You may need to provide information about their diagnoses and current treatment. This will facilitate the best interaction possible.
