What to Do in a Crisis

1

Ensure Immediate Safety

If you are in physical danger or feeling unsafe, remove yourself from the situation immediately. Go to a public place or contact emergency services.

2

Reach Out to Someone

Call a trusted friend, family member, or use the crisis lines above. You do not have to go through this alone. Someone is ready to listen.

3

Focus on Breathing

Try slow, deep breaths: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. This activates your body's calming response and helps ground you.

4

Seek Professional Care

If symptoms persist or worsen, visit an urgent care clinic, hospital emergency department, or schedule an immediate therapy appointment.
