Being in crisis yourself, or seeing a loved one go through one is frightening and one of the most difficult things a person can experience. We truly wish that we could provide immediate services to everyone who contacts us, and believe that access to evidence-based mental health treatments is crucial. Even so, we cannot provide immediate crisis services to individuals who have not completed the YFI Intake Process. However, there are resources that can help while we complete the intake process. We recommend crisis hotlines  such as Lines For Life, Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 74174), the National Suicide Lifeline, or one of the hotlines listed on APA’s website (including more specific helplines). In the case of a crisis where you or a loved one needs urgent emergency help and are in immediate danger of attempting suicide, you can visit your local ER, where trained staff will help keep you or your loved one safe while you receive help.
