Ask a family member or friend to help you make these calls or take you to the hospital.
If you have a family member or friend who is suicidal, do not leave him or her alone. Try to get the person to seek help immediately from an emergency room, physician, or mental health professional. Take seriously any comments about suicide or wishing to die. Even if you do not believe your family member or friend will actually attempt suicide, the person is clearly in distress and can benefit from your help in receiving mental health treatment.
If you are not in imminent danger but need immediate crisis support call (800) 952-2335 24-hours a day for Santa Cruz County residents to assess for hospitalization in a psychiatric crisis.
