Oregon 988 and behavioral-health crisis response

Before you start

  • Current location, immediate danger, communication and language needs, diagnoses, medications, medical risks, triggers, calming strategies, contacts, ISP, and recent changes.

Who to contact

Start with the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program. After eligibility, use the chosen CDDP services coordinator or Support Services Brokerage personal agent. For an adverse action, use the exact notice and the current complaint or hearing route.

Step by step

  1. For immediate danger or a medical, police, or fire emergency, call 911.
  2. For mental-health, emotional, alcohol or drug, suicide-related, or other crisis support, call or text 988 or use official chat or ASL access.
  3. After immediate safety, notify the services coordinator or personal agent and providers and request documented follow-up and plan review.

Expected next

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

Save this proof

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

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate according to immediate risk and ask crisis and I/DD teams to name the post-crisis owner and next event.
