Important note: If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Do not call Family Service & Guidance Center for a life-threatening emergency. Crises are as unique as the youth and families that experience them. What may be a crisis for one child may be an ordinary, everyday experience for another; however, parents should seek out help if a child or teen is experiencing any of the following:
- Is at risk of harming themselves or others
- Attempting homicide or death by suicide
- Showing extreme physical aggression, violence or defiance
- Hearing voices or seeing things that aren’t really there
- Has an FSGC treatment plan and needs help working through the safety/crisis plan
Family Service & Guidance Center offers crisis services 24/7/365. If you think your child is experiencing a mental health crisis, call 785.232.5005 and ask to speak to Crisis Services.
Your can also text or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988.
