It is important for each person to get the level of care they need when they need it.
Please note: The therapists at Weaving Stories Therapy do not provide emergency or on-call services. We’ve compiled a list of resources should the need arise for more urgent support.
Steps to take if you or someone you know is in crisis:
- Before calling 911: If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please be aware that police and other first responders are not trained or equipped to address mental health issues and may even pose danger to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Transgender, Mentally Ill, Neurodivergent, and Disabled People.
- Please reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.
- See below for crisis warm-lines that do not use police intervention.
