Mobile Crisis Response
If you are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, know this: You matter! You are not alone. Reach out for help or to talk to someone. Our mental health crisis line is available around the clock.
When you’re in the midst of an emergency or coping with the aftermath of trauma, it’s important to be able to get help quickly. Pillars Community Health has been offering Crisis Intervention Services since 1976. Our Crisis Team helps stabilize personal and family emergencies and sudden traumas that impact entire communities. These services are available in English and Spanish at NO COST to the client or community.
Mobile Crisis Services
Pillars Community Health’s 24-hour Crisis Intervention Services help stabilize personal and family emergencies involving suicidal and homicidal behavior, severe aggression toward others, mental illness, and family conflict. Our Crisis Team also helps clients cope with a recent loss, address substance abuse issues, provide support amid sudden traumas that affect entire communities, work with law enforcement managing a crisis, and counsel students and faculty when there is a death or major incident in the community or school.
If you or someone you know needs immediate help, call our mental health crisis line at 708-PILLARS (708-745-5277) and follow the prompts to speak to a crisis worker.
Crisis workers are available 24 hours a day through our mental health crisis hotline:
