Step by step

  1. For immediate danger or a medical, fire, or law-enforcement emergency, call 911.
  2. For mental-health, suicide, substance-use, or emotional crisis, call or text 988.
  3. After immediate safety, notify the planning owner and provider and request documented follow-up and plan correction.

Expected next

A crisis response plus a named follow-up owner, stabilization or discharge plan, referral, assessment, plan update, or service correction.

Save this proof

Contact times, responders, event facts, discharge material, notifications, referrals, and updated plan.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate according to immediate risk and ask emergency, crisis, and service-system contacts to name the post-crisis owner.
