Crisis can be experienced by any of us during the course of our lives. Whether enduring a crisis ourselves or trying to help someone else who is in crisis, it can be hard to know where to go for immediate emotional support and referral assistance.
This resource page lists local (Washington state) and national organizations that can help people in crisis find the support and resources they need.
The listing of these resources does not indicate my endorsement of or responsibility for their content, policies, procedures, or views.
