Guidance

Below are mental health and suicide prevention resources to contact should you or a loved one need support:

For a life-threatening emergency, always dial 911.
An emergency is considered to be any serious and sudden medical, emotional, or behavioral health situation that, if not given immediate professional attention, could lead to your child being severely harmed or possibly harming someone else.

If you have an emergency situation involving your child that is life-threatening, seek help immediately by dialing 911.

Perform Care- 1-877-652-7624
If your situation is not immediately life-threatening, contact Perform Care  and follow the menu prompts provided for an urgent situation. They will ask you a series of questions to determine how we can help. If Perform Care finds that your child should be evaluated for hospitalization, they will refer you to a local screening center.

Perform Care may authorize mobile response stabilization services (MRSS) to come your home within one hour of notification to provide face-to-face crisis services. The goal is to stabilize behavior and keep your child at home.

Mobile response is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can offer up to eight weeks of stabilization services.
