Helpful language from my trusted colleague and friend Korrine Wojcik:

• If you do not have access to mental health crisis support and are experiencing a life-threatening medical or psychiatric emergency, you should go to a local hospital emergency room or call 911 immediately.

• Please be aware that experiencing hospitalization or police involvement can be traumatic and potentially unsafe for individuals with marginalized identities. There are community-based alternatives to calling the police or 911. Check out Don’t Call The Police to learn more about resources available in your area.
