Step by step

  1. For immediate danger or a medical, fire, or law-enforcement emergency, call 911.
  2. For mental-health or substance-use crisis support, call or text 988 or use the official chat route.
  3. After immediate safety, notify the service coordinator and provider and request documented follow-up and ISA review.

Expected next

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

Save this proof
