What is a Crisis?
A crisis can be a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger. It may also be a time where a difficult or important decision must be made.
A mental health crisis is any situation in which a person's behavior puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others and/or prevents them from being able to care for themselves or function effectively. A crisis can look different for different people, so it is important that as long as you feel like you are in crisis that you reach out.
