Mental health crises can be frightening, overwhelming, and often unpredictable. Whether you or a loved one is struggling with severe anxiety, suicidal thoughts, or other urgent mental health needs, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. At Mercy Health and Counseling, our crisis intervention services are here to provide immediate and compassionate support when you need it most.
We understand how isolating it can feel when you’re in crisis, but reaching out for help is a courageous first step. Our team is dedicated to helping you stabilize during these times of acute distress. We focus on listening without judgment, offering practical solutions, and guiding you through the most difficult moments. Our goal is to help you regain a sense of safety and control while developing a path forward that supports your overall well-being.
Our crisis intervention approach involves:
Immediate Response: We provide rapid support to address the immediate crisis. Whether it’s through a phone call, an in-person session, or connecting virtually, we are here to help you or your loved one find stability and calm. We aim to bring a sense of safety back into a chaotic moment.
Compassionate Care: Our counselors approach every situation with empathy and understanding. We know that mental health crises don’t come with easy answers, and our priority is to ensure you feel heard and supported throughout the process. There is no shame in reaching out, and we’re here to remind you that asking for help is an act of strength.
Stabilization and Safety Planning: In times of crisis, it’s crucial to establish stability and ensure safety. We work with clients to de-escalate intense emotions and behaviors, creating a plan to manage the immediate challenges. Safety is always our top priority, and we make sure that you leave each interaction with a clear plan to keep yourself or your loved one safe.
Creating a Plan for Ongoing Care: Crisis intervention is just the beginning. Once the immediate situation is stabilized, we work with clients to create a plan for ongoing support. This might include connecting you with ongoing counseling, arranging follow-up appointments, or helping you access additional resources that will continue to support you on your journey to recovery. We believe in building a foundation of care that goes beyond the crisis, so you feel supported not just in the moment, but in the days and weeks to come.
Family and Community Support: Crises often impact not just the individual, but their loved ones as well. We work closely with families to help them understand the situation, provide guidance, and build a supportive environment for ongoing recovery. No one should have to face these challenges alone, and we ensure that family members are part of the healing process.
If you or someone you care about is in crisis, please remember that you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our team is here to support you through the darkest moments and help you find light on the other side. We’re committed to providing the care, attention, and resources needed to help you find stability and hope again.
We’re here to remind you that even in crisis, there is hope. You are not alone, and we’re ready to help you take the next step towards safety, healing, and resilience.
However, if you are experiencing a life-threatening situation or feel that someone is in immediate danger, please call 911 or go to your nearest hospital right away. Your safety is the most important thing, and emergency responders are there to provide the urgent help you may need.
