Psychological Crisis - Imminent Danger

A psychological crisis exists when an individual is threatening harm to himself/herself or to others, or is out of touch with reality due to severe drug reactions or a psychotic break. A psychotic break may be manifested by hallucinations, uncontrollable behavior, or the person could be a hospital walk-away.

If a psychological crisis occurs:

1. NEVER try to handle a situation you feel is dangerous on your own.
   
   
2. Notify the Public Safety Emergency Dispatcher of the situation at ext. 6911. CLEARLY state that you need immediate assistance. Give your name, location and the area involved.
