Facing a Mental Health Crisis?

If you or someone you know are faced with a mental health crisis, call the crisis hotline of the local mental health or local behavioral health authority for your county. Find this number by using the online mental health services search form or by calling one of the numbers below.

Crisis services are available 24/7 and include a prompt face-to-face crisis assessment, crisis intervention services, a crisis follow-up and relapse prevention services. The HHSC Crisis Services Guide (PDF) has information on various state-funded crisis services and organizations that can help connect people to resources.
