SAMHSA's National Helpline for treatment-referral information — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), 24/7.
Talk with a primary-care provider. Mental-health concerns are a normal part of primary care today; your doctor can connect you with the right specialist or local resources.

Stay with them if you can. Don't leave them alone if you can avoid it.
Help them connect to the lines above. If they're more comfortable with you in the call, stay with them.
Reduce access to means of harm where it's safe to do so — medications, firearms, sharp objects.
Listen without trying to fix. Presence is more useful than advice in the moment.
Take care of yourself. Supporting someone in crisis is hard. Reach out to your own supports afterward.
