In crisis or thinking about harming yourself? Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7. In an emergency, call 911.
Start here

You don't need the right words to begin.

This page is for the night you're not sure what you need, or whether you need anything at all. No diagnosis required. No commitment. Just a place to start.

If you're thinking…
“Is it even bad enough?” “I don't know where to start.” “What if I just get passed around?” “Is this for me or my kid?”

All of those are reasons to reach out, not reasons to wait. If something has been heavy for a few weeks — for you, or for your child — it's enough. You don't need a crisis to deserve help.

The two-minute form

Tell us what's going on, in your own words.

The form takes about two minutes. Plain language is perfect — “my daughter won't get out of bed,” “I can't stop worrying,” “we keep having the same fight.” You don't have to know whether that means therapy, psychiatry, or both. That's our job.

You fill out the form.
About two minutes. No referral, no diagnosis, no perfect words.
