Identifying a Mental Health Crisis
Crisis Intervention and Urgent (non-emergent) Mental Health Care
Mental Health Facts:
At least 19.2% of adult ER visits are due to mental health complaints each year. With 10.5 per 100,000 people experiencing suicide.
Signs an individual may experience a mental health crisis might include:
- difficulty in functioning or being unable to function (e.g., it’s hard to get out of bed, go to work, or do daily tasks
- having challenges or an inability to take care of your hygiene, such as brushing your teeth, changing clothes, and bathing
- intense or sudden changes in mood
- psychosis such as hallucinations or delusions
- paranoia
- feeling increasingly agitated, angry, or violent
- suicidal thoughts or making plans
- harming yourself or self-medicating
- isolating or withdrawing from others
A Supportive Alternative During a Mental Health Crisis
If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis and are concerned about hospitalization, PHVUCC may be an available option for support and stabilization. While hospitalization can be an important and necessary resource during certain emergencies, we understand that some individuals may have concerns about the experience, stigma, or potential financial impact.
When a person is experiencing a crisis but does not require inpatient hospitalization, PHVUCC can provide timely outpatient crisis stabilization and mental health support in a safe, compassionate environment.
You don’t have to wait for a crisis to become overwhelming. We’re here to help you find the appropriate level of care and support.

You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human

Your mental health is everything – prioritize it. Make the time like your life depends on it, because it does

Self-care is how you take your power back
