Emergency Resources

We understand that big feelings are unpredictable.                                                                                                      

If you need help that cannot wait until your next appointment, we urge you to reference the resources below.

For a behavioral or mental health crisis, call or text 988 or 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

If you or your child are experiencing a crisis, immediate support is available. In life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For urgent mental health support, call 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

For non-urgent but immediate emotional support, the Crisis Text Line provides free, confidential help—text HOME to 741741 to connect with a trained crisis counselor.

If your child is struggling with severe emotional distress, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, reach out to the Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386) for LGBTQ+ youth support or CA Youth Crisis Line (1-800-843-5200).

For concerns related to domestic violence or child abuse, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (422-4453).

If you need guidance on mental health resources but are not in immediate danger, contact your pediatrician, school counselor, or a mental health professional. TRAIN provides evaluations and therapeutic support but does not offer crisis intervention services.

You are not alone—help is available. Please reach out to the appropriate resource to ensure safety and support for you or your child.
