Crisis Intervention Information & Helplines

Important: Forward Way Mental Health, LLC is dedicated to providing ongoing outpatient mental health services, focusing on scheduled appointments to support your long-term well-being. It's important to understand that our practice is not equipped to offer immediate crisis intervention outside of these pre-arranged sessions. Our model of care allows for personalized and consistent support within the structure of scheduled appointments, which differs from immediate crisis intervention services.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or are in immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else, please do not hesitate to call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest hospital immediately for immediate crisis intervention. In such critical moments, prompt action is crucial, and these dedicated emergency services are available 24/7 to provide the immediate support you need.
