If you or someone you know is exhibiting signs of mental illness, it is important to access mental health services before the situation becomes a crisis. You can access these services by calling the MHMRA Helpline at 713-970-7000. If there is NOT an immediate threat of danger, but someone is acting out due to their mental state, call the Houston Police Department non-emergency # 713-884-3131 and request that a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officer be dispatched to the location of the incident. If someone due to their mental state is acting out and there is an immediate threat of danger to that person or someone else, call 911. An immediate threat of danger can include threats to hurt himself or to hurt someone else.

We have written some guidelines to help you if a crisis should occur.

We offer these documents in MS Word or a print version.
