Emergency departments

Most local hospitals have emergency departments that also serve suicidal patients. They are generally staffed with trained counselors and mental health workers. In rural areas, finding trained staff may be more challenging. However, emergency departments can keep suicidal patients safe during a crisis and help with finding appropriate follow-up care in the mental health community. Wait times can vary greatly. Emergency rooms can also be somewhat chaotic and loud. Consider bringing someone to help you communicate with staff about your concerns.

Staff will ask personal questions; be prepared to answer honestly and expect a nonjudgmental response. Communications are confidential.
