Mental Health Crisis resources for Michiganders
Written by Sara Camilleri LMSW
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis and need help right away, it is usually best to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. A mental health crisis generally means that someone is a danger to themselves or others.
However, for those who are in urgent need of support that is not a life or death situation, many additional crisis hotlines exist. Some of these operate 24/7 and many of these are specialized. This is not a comprehensive list and if you are in immediate danger, please call 911 for help.
The National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (previously the National Suicide Prevention Hotline): call or text 988 at any time
SAMHSA’s National Helpline specializes in helping indivduals/families with mental health and/or substance use disorders. Call 1-800-662-HELP (4357) at any time
The National Crisis Text Line can be reached by texting HOME to 741741 any time of day or night.
The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ+ Young People 24/7. Text START to 687-678 or call them at 1-866-488-7386
The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is free, confidential, and here to help, 24/7. They help those who are pregnant or just had a baby. Call them at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (852-6262).
Helplines are another options for non-emergency situations:
The Postpartum Support International (PSI) Helpline provides basic support and resources to parents or those experiencing postpartum mental health issues. Call them at 1-800-944-4773.
The Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigration Rights (WICIR) seeks to help connect folx located in Washtenaw County to immigration related resources and navigate immigration related emergencies.
