Guide to Navigating Mental Health Crises

Mental health emergencies can be unpredictable and challenging for those who experience them and those who act as supports. This online guide from National Alliance on Mental Illness describes warning signs; do’s and don’ts for responding to crises in the moment; what to expect from law enforcement and other responders; and practical tips for preparing ahead of time. RHY providers can use the guide to educate staff, community members, and youth and families about navigating mental health crises.
