In event of emergency…
You are not alone. There is help. If you or your loved one needs emergency help, here are FOUR things you can do:
• Call 911
• Go to your nearest emergency room
• Call your local county mental health emergency line—here is a link to emergency numbers for every NC county:

Most NC counties have teams of psychiatric professionals that can come to your home in the event of a psychiatric crisis ; this is especially helpful if you have concerns that it may not be safe to attempt to transport your loved one in a car to get help.
• Call a national 24/7 suicide hotline:1-800-SUICIDE
1-800-273-TALK
