Description

A mental health crisis can be extremely frightening and difficult for family and friends to understand. Law enforcement and paramedics have limited resources to help during a mental health crisis, which can result in an unnecessary trip to the Emergency Room. This often only adds to the crisis. MHC's emergency teams are trained to immediately respond and resolve a crisis. A triage counselor will pick up the phone to help. He/she will get some basic information like your name and date of birth and then ask you to describe the crisis you or a loved one is experiencing. Based on your description, the counselor will determine if immediate action is needed. This could be one of MHC's master's level providers driving to your location to meet in person. He/she may also refer you to our 24-hour walk-in crisis center located in Davidson County. If the counselor determines this is an immediate medical emergency, he/she will direct you to the nearest emergency room or ask you to call 9-1-1. If you are unable to call, the crisis counselor will call 9-1-1 for you.
