The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the United States. We're committed to improving crisis services and advancing suicide prevention by empowering individuals, advancing professional best practices, and building awareness.
When we’re suicidal, our thought processes might slow down. There are times when we can’t put our thoughts and feelings into words. Even if our brains are in overdrive, and we have lots of different thoughts and it can be difficult to pull them together.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! If you are someone you know are having suicidal thoughts, please dial 988 to speak with a counselor 24-7.

BEAM National Crisis Response Teams and Services Across America:
Crisis Response Teams provide professional, same-day intervention for adults who are experiencing mental health crises and is an option before 911 needs to be contacted.
The team visits families to prevent acute psychiatric crises from becoming emergencies that require law enforcement involvement or involuntary hospitalization.
CRT includes licensed mental health clinicians, community and family support workers and a family nurse practitioner employed by Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services (BHS).
The goal is to de-escalate the crisis and safely connect the families with care and mental health resources.
