Crisis Hotlines
Get Help If You Need It
For more information, please see our
Mental Health, Addiction, and Social Services Directory
Crisis Hotlines are for those individuals who need immediate assistance in attempting to develop options for specific problems. Crisis Hotlines do limited problem-solving and refer callers to appropriate agencies.
The MHAGC referral and resource list is not an all-inclusive list and is subject to change. Each day our team will be adding new resources and building to our website. If you have trouble finding a referral within your area, we encourage you to call (312) 781-7780 for more information.
Reference to any treatment or therapy option, or to any program, service, or treatment provider is not an endorsement by MHAGC.
