Crises generally involve a situation where someone’s safety is at risk—a potentially life‑or‑death situation.
Suicidal or homicidal gestures or attempts are crisis situations. Persistent thoughts about death or specific ideas about ways to hurt one’s self or others should be treated as a crisis situation.
If someone is suddenly acting very different from usual or doesn’t seem to be making any sense, this could be an emergency, and help should be sought immediately.
If you have been physically attacked (sexually assaulted, mugged, etc.), seek help immediately.
For mental health crises or emergencies during business hours, contact us by phone at 610.902.8561 or in person at Infante House on Residental Blvd. If you can not reach us or when the office is closed, please contact Public Safety at 610.902.8111.
After hours (after 4pm on weekdays), on the weekend, during breaks, please contact Public Safety at 610.902.8111 or a 24‑hour crisis hotline.
