If you are in crisis – need emergency help?
Get Help in a Crisis
At Halsa Mind Medical, we understand that mental health crises can occur unexpectedly and require immediate attention. If you or someone you care about is experiencing a crisis, it is important to seek help promptly. While Halsa Mind Medical offers a range of mental health services, we are not an emergency service. For urgent support, the following options are available:
What is a Mental Health Crisis?
A mental health crisis is any situation in which you feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, or you may be at risk of harming yourself or others. Examples include:
- Experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviours.
- Feeling severely anxious, distressed, or out of control.
- Experiencing a psychotic episode, such as hearing voices or having delusions.
- Facing a sudden deterioration in your mental health or the mental health of someone you know.
