How Do I Seek Mental Health Help Quickly?

If you need help quickly, tell someone you trust and ask them to stay with you. Then contact a mental health professional, clinic, or local emergency service.

If making an appointment feels difficult, ask a friend or family member to help you make the call. You don't need to explain everything perfectly. Just saying, I’m not doing well and I need help, is enough to start.

If you feel like you might hurt yourself or you aren't safe, don't stay alone. Get emergency help or go to the nearest emergency department right away.
